The part-time actress from Texas who told FBI agents her husband had sent ricin-tainted letters to President Obama and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has been arrested today according to law enforcement sources.

Shannon Rogers Guess Richardson of New Boston, Texas, called the Federal Bureau of Investigation to claim that her husband sent the letters on May 20th—however investigators believe that she sent the letters herself.

Richardson, who has had minor roles on television shows such as The Walking Dead and the Vampire Diaries was arrested in Arkansas and charges will be filed on Friday afternoon according to authorities.
