A 41-year-old Mississippi man accused of sending ricin-laced letters to President Barack Obama and others waived his detention hearing in federal court Thursday and will remain in jail without opportunity for bail, a U.S. District Court in Mississippi said.
Also during James Everett Dutschke's court appearance Thursday, a magistrate ruled that there is probable cause for a federal grand jury to consider the case. The grand jury will now determine what charges Dutschke will face.
Dutschke was arrested April 27, and many of the accusations against him were detailed in an affidavit unsealed Tuesday.
On April 22, federal authorities searched a trash receptacle from Dutschke's Tupelo home and found, among other items, different types of yellow paper, address labels and a dust mask. The letters to Obama, Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Mississippi, and Sadie Holland, a judge in Lee County, Mississippi were all on yellow paper.
