FBI arrests Sacramento man in sugar packet hoax mailings:
letters sent to Congressional Offices and media outlets
Late this afternoon FBI agents arrested Marc M. Keyser, 66, of Sacramento, California, and charged him with three counts of sending a hoax letter after he allegedly mailed over 120 packages containing a CD entitled “Anthrax: Shock & Awe Terror”. Attached to the CD was a sugar packet containing a white powdery substance and a label depicting an orange biohazard symbol and the words “Anthrax Sample”. The packages were sent to a number of addresses nationwide including: over 100 major media outlets across the country, the office of a national news magazine in Washington, DC, a Congressional District Office in Modesto, California, a newspaper in North Carolina and to at least two restaurants in the Sacramento-area.
Several of these packages have been collected and sent to the FBI Laboratory at Quantico, Virginia, for processing. At this point none of the contents have tested positive for bio-hazardous material. It is likely that many other mailings will be received over the next few days. Recipients of these mailings are advised to contact their local FBI office so that these packages can be collected and preserved for evidentiary purposes.
The arrest is not connected to another series of powder hoax mailings sent to financial institutions announced by the FBI last week.
Keyser was arrested at his residence without incident and is in custody at the Sacramento County Jail. He will make his initial appearance in federal court tomorrow at 2:00 p.m.
