Authorities Arrest New Suspect in Ricin Mailings

HeadlineApr 29, 2013

Federal authorities have arrested a Mississippi man accused of mailing letters laced with the poison ricin to President Obama, Sen. Roger Wicker and a local judge. James Everett Dutschke, a former martial arts instructor, was arrested on Saturday and could face up to life in prison if convicted. Authorities last week released an earlier suspect, Paul Kevin Curtis, after finding no evidence linking him to the mailings.
