ARTICLE SNIPPET: "OCALA, Fla. - A man arrested in January after police found the lethal toxin ricin at his home pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court.
Steven Michael Ekberg, 22, faces up to 10 years in prison for unlawful possession of the substance. He was arrested after someone phoned in a tip to police. Agents who searched his home found a cardboard box of chemicals, including three vials that tested positive for ricin. They also found a submachine gun and two semiautomatic rifles.
Authorities have previously declined to comment on how Ekberg got the ricin, a toxin derived from castor beans."
Man, Florida's full of nutjobs, from the Panhandle on down to the Keys. I'm reminded of it nearly every day when I walk past the car wash where Carlie Brucia was abducted last year.
