Police and the FBI have taken a suspect in Utah into custody for mailing packages containing suspicious substances to President Donald Trump and the Pentagon, according to a police official. The suspect was identified in Logan, Utah, where the FBI contacted local police on Wednesday morning regarding the ongoing investigation into suspicious packages, which are currently being tested to determine if they contained the deadly toxin ricin. Envelopes containing suspicious substances were received earlier this week by the Pentagon, White House, and campaign offices for Texas Senator Tex Cruz.
