Acting U.S. Attorney Vipal J. Patel, center, accompanied by FBI Special Agent in Charge Chris Hoffman, speaks Thursday during a news conference in Cincinnati. Federal authorities say Akron-based FirstEnergy Corp. would pay a $230 million penalty and fully cooperate as part of an agreement announced Thursday to settle federal charges against the company in a sweeping bribery scheme in Ohio.
A worker drives a tractor through a tree farm May 18, 2011, in North Perry, Ohio, near the cooling towers of the Perry Nuclear Power Plant. A $60 million bribery case, involving ex-Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and others, alleges to have helped prop up the Perry and Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station in Oak Harbor, Ohio.

Case involving man charged with nuclear plant bomb threat moved to Lake County Courts Michael Fogelsong (Source: WOIO) By Chris Anderson | April 20, 2021 at 8:47 AM EDT - Updated April 20 at 10:05 AM
NORTH PERRY, Ohio (WOIO) - The 33-year-old Michigan man accused of driving onto the Perry Nuclear Power Plant property and telling security he had a bomb was back in court on Tuesday morning.
Michael Fogelsong waived his preliminary hearing with Painesville Municipal Courts, meaning the case will be reviewed by a Lake County Court of Common Pleas grand jury.
The suspect’s attorney asked for a bond lower than the $100,000 bail that was set due to his cancer diagnosis and medical appointments, but the judge said Fogelsong remains a flight risk and must remain monitored.
