Man charged with threatening dead cancer activist's mother Authorities say a Florida man has been charged with making death threats against the mother of a Purdue University superfan and cancer activist who died last week

DELTONA, Fla. -- Authorities say a Florida man has been charged with making death threats against the mother of a Purdue University superfan and cancer activist who died last week.

A Volusia County Sheriff's Office news release says 39-year-old John Matthew Pinkham was arrested Monday at a Deltona, Florida, home and charged with making written threats to kill or injure.

Trent's battle with bone cancer drew national attention and helped raise more than $100,000 for cancer research.

Pinkham was being held on $10,000 bond. Jail records didn't list an attorney.
