A woman suspected of sending a letter containing the poison ricin to President Donald Trump was arrested as she tried to enter the US from Canada at a border crossing in New York state, a US law enforcement official said.

The woman was carrying a gun and arrested by US authorities, according to the law enforcement official.

Canadians are very twitchy about Americans bringing guns into Canada. Causes me to wonder if she was initially arrested for possessing the gun, they took her prints, ran them, and found the same prints were on the ricin letter. Might have also been a DNA check.

I’d be impressed if she found a way to send poison in a twittet repky. Because thats about the only chance she’d have of getting noticed.

Im sure the chinkers are working on that....

Update from The Hill article posted just before I posted this one:

"The [US] official told CNN that the unnamed woman, who was carrying a firearm at the time of her arrest, was detained by authorities at a U.S.-Canada border while attempting to enter the U.S."

Looks like US officials made the bust and her possessing the gun might have been what triggered it.

She was entering the U.S. from Canada.

She won’t be the first sending letters as that. 2018 a guy out of Utah was arrested too.

No more like 5i’s

I'm guessing she looks something like Phyllis Diller...

20 Sept: Breitbart: AZ GOP Sheriff Candidate: I Will ‘Line Up Jail Buses’ to Arrest Rioters
by AWR Hawkins
Jerry Sheridan, the Republican candidate for Arizona’s Maricopa County Sheriff, says he will “line up jail buses” to take protesters-turned-rioters to prison.
Sheridan told Breitbart News, “I will enforce people’s constitutional rights to peaceably protest. However, as soon as someone throws a rock or a bottle that is not longer a peaceful protest. I will declare it an unlawful assembly and immediately disperse the crowd before it becomes a riot.”...

“I’m not fooling around with this. These rioters, they don’t just attack Republican businesses. They don’t just attack and destroy and burn and loot businesses in wealthy communities. They attack, especially small business owners that probably have their life savings, their life work in these places, [the rioters] don’t discriminate,” Sheridan added.
“They tear them all down, and it’s my job as the sheriff to protect everybody. Regardless of the location in Maricopa County, regardless of who owns the businesses.”...

"She's crazier than a bedbug!"

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Powder can fall out of a sealed envelope. Several mail handlers and mail carriers died of anthrax, God rest their souls. Let's hope this isn't a repeat. There is no antidote for ricin.

Why is it such a big secret what her name is?

[NorthWoody]

Twittet Repky is my second cousin. He lives in Bosnia. Do you know him?

[fightin kentuckian]

Did Ruthie send it just before she kicked the bucket? Lol

[Reno89519]

Should we call this what it is: an assassination attempt?

[Jaysin]

i really botched that one up.

[magooey]

Indeed. It may indicate a background we not supposed to talk about.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

So, apparently, ricin can be obtained in Canada off the street?
Who is this woman connected to?

[lee martell]

That hairdo looked better on Tina Turner.

Texas actress who sent Obama ricin sentenced to 18 years

Will this one get off with a slap on her wrist? What special protections does she have?

If the woman was driving her own car, there’s a pretty good chance that her auto license plate number is what triggered the search, which in turn discovered the gun. It sounds like the feds with CA assistance had already traced the letter to the CA province and town. A license plate scan could trigger a red flag on the plate. A passport could also trigger a search simply from the address info.

I was crossing from the US into CA several years ago to do some work so had to get a work permit kind of visa at the border. Very quickly, the CA customs had background info on me. It took awhile for them to generate the visa hard copy that was attached into my passport but they rapidly acquired the info they needed to verify that my bonafides were satisfactory. I’m pretty sure that US and CA authorities are tied together pretty tightly for reciprocal access to each other’s databases at least up to a certain level.
