Woman Arrested in Ricin Case

A woman has been arrested in connection with the ricin-filled package that was sent to the White House last week. She allegedly also sent similar poison letters to an unspecified number of federal prisons, but the intended recipients were not disclosed.

The as yet unidentified woman was apprehended at the Canadian border crossing near Buffalo NY. The only details we have are her gender and that she is a Canadian citizen.



According to reports, the woman was in possession of a handgun when taken into custody at the Peace Bridge, which connects Buffalo NY to Fort Erie in Ontario.

The package Containing the ricin was intercepted at an off-site mail sorting facility. The letter was reportedly mailed from St. Hubert, Quebec.
