WASHINGTON — A man has been charged in Illinois with mailing four letters containing a white granular substance to members of Congress, all of which were sent in envelopes bearing his name and home address.
16, the FBI National Threat Operations Area received an online tip a submitted by an anonymous tipster reporting a man named Unglesbee who was sending unknown substances to members of Congress.
Unglesbee admitted that he knew that people would perceive the letters as dangerous, the FBI said.
The letters were postmarked in Springfield and had Unglesbee’s name written in the section for a return address.
A search of his residence turned up a fifth unmailed and empty envelope that was addressed to a member of Congress, according to the FBI.
