Paul Kevin Curtis, Obama ricin poison: Mississippi man arrested for letters sent to Obama, senator

WASHINGTON - A Mississippi man was arrested Wednesday, accused of sending letters to President Barack Obama and a senator that tested positive for the poisonous ricin and set the nation's capital on edge a day after the Boston Marathon bombings.

FBI Special Agent in Charge Daniel McMullen said the man was arrested Wednesday. The man has been identified as 45-year-old Paul Kevin Curtis of Corinth, Miss.

Authorities still waited for definitive tests on the letters to Obama and Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss. An FBI intelligence bulletin obtained by The Associated Press said those two letters were postmarked Memphis, Tenn.

Both letters said: "To see a wrong and not expose it, is to become a silent partner to its continuance." Both were signed, "I am KC and I approve this message."

He signed the letters with the same sig line he used on his web page.

Barney Fife could have solved this one.
