The FBI has arrested a man in Oklahoma City who is suspected of sending hundreds of letters containing suspicious white powder to public officials across the country, Fox News reports, citing a federal law enforcement source.

The arrest. Fox says the man was taken into custody early Monday and is expected to make an initial court appearance Tuesday afternoon. The source said he is suspected of mailing the letters during both the 2024 and 2026 election cycles.

The scale. The letters went to more than 100 locations, the source said, including multiple secretary of state offices and election offices.

Who worked the case. Fox lists the FBI's Oklahoma City field office, the FBI Criminal Division, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, U.S. Capitol Police and the Oklahoma City Police Department.

The background. Fox says the arrest comes as authorities were investigating suspicious letters mailed to congressional and election offices ahead of the midterms. The Associated Press reported last month that the FBI described the mailings as "a series of suspicious mailings sent to various addresses nationwide." Capitol Police intercepted a letter addressed to Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester's Delaware office, and postal authorities intercepted mail addressed to the offices of Sens. Alex Padilla and Kirsten Gillibrand, AP reported. In an Oct. 23 advisory, the FBI said no hazardous material had been identified in the substances tested so far, though laboratory testing was continuing. In 2024, similar letters reached election offices in more than 15 states and prompted evacuations and hazmat responses, AP reported then. Authorities found some of those substances harmless.

What we could not check. Fox's report relies on one unnamed law enforcement source. It does not name the suspect, state the charges or say what the substances were in this case. We are not naming him because he has not been charged in anything we have seen. We have not seen a complaint or court filing.
