the US Justice Department announced statement on Saturday that a second suspect has been arrested in the April 8 ricin letter mailings. The first suspect arrested and charged with the mailings, 45-year-old Elvis impersonator Paul Kevin Curtis was released from jail and charges dropped on Tuesday.

41-year-old Tupelo Mississippi resident James Everett Dutschke was arrested at his home shortly after midnight early Saturday morning by FBI. The statement coming out of the US attorneys office states that Dutschke was charged with “knowingly developing, producing, stockpiling, transferring, acquiring, retaining and possessing a biological agent, toxin and delivery system for use as a weapon, to wit: ricin, and with attempting, threatening and conspiring to do the same.”

Curtis and Dutschke have carried out a feud for years, mostly online. it was Curtis pointed out to investigators that he felt he was being framed for the ricin incident and pointed to Dutschke as the possible framer. Curtis and Dutschke work together for time at the Tupelo Insurance Agency which is owned by Curtis’s older brother.

Dutschke, who currently owns the Tupelo Tae Kwon Do Plus martial arts school, was arrested as recently as January on charges of child molestation of three girls under the age of 16. Dutschke pleaded not guilty on those charges and has yet has not gone to trial.

Dutschke attempted to run for the Mississippi House of Representatives in 2007. Running as a Republican, he lost the race to the Democratic incumbent. It was the parent of that incumbent, Sadie Holland, a Mississippi judge, that received one of the ricin letters. Letters that tested positive for ricin were also mailed to President Obama in Mississippi’s Republican US Sen. Roger Wicker. Those letters were detected at an off-site mail sorting facility in Washington DC.

Dutschke faces a maximum penalty of life in prison and had a $250,000 fine if convicted of charges.
