A spokesperson for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has confirmed to WGRZ-TV that a woman suspected of sending a letter containing the poison ricin to President Donald Trump was arrested at the Peace Bridge in Buffalo.
CNN, which had first reported the story of the arrest, had only reported that the woman was arrested as she tried to enter the US from Canada at "a border crossing in New York State".
CBP Buffalo Field Office Public Affairs Liaison Aaron Bowker declined to say when the arrest occurred.
CNN cited a US law enforcement official as saying the woman was carrying a gun and arrested by US authorities, according to the law enforcement official.
US prosecutors in Washington, DC, are expected to bring charges against her.
According to a source, she could be brought before a federal judge as early as Monday.
