Arrest Is Made Over Letters Believed to Carry Poison 17 Apr 2013 Federal agents arrested a man on Wednesday who is suspected of sending letters believed contaminated by the poison, ricin, to President Obama and a Republican senator. The F.B.I. identified the suspect as Paul Kevin Curtis of Corinth, Miss. The arrest, days after the letters were intercepted in mail-sorting facilities for the White House and the Capitol, was based on information collected "very early on" about who had sent the letters, an official said. Earlier in the day, with reports of other suspicious letters and packages turning up in Senate offices, the Capitol Police evacuated parts of the Hart and Russell Senate Office Buildings, shouting to clear the hallways and leaving staff members to peer nervously out their windows.
