A Madison man is being kept in the Dane County Jail for allegedly trying to buy radioactive material on the internet. A federal judge found probable cause on Monday that 30-year-old Jeremy Ryan had committed a federal offense and ordered him to remain in custody until a grand jury convenes to issue an indictment. Ryan’s attorney said his client was only trying to buy the material to commit suicide because he has cancer, but the judge said that it was still a federal crime to purchase the material, known as Polonium-210.
