|
[NYPOST] The Canadian woman accused of sending a letter containing ricin to President Trump has been identified as Pascale Ferrier of Quebec, authorities said.
Ferrier was taken into custody Sunday by US Customs and Border Protection agents at the Peace Bridge border crossing near Buffalo, New York, where she is expected to appear in federal court to face charges.
She was supposed to appear in court Monday, but her appearance was delayed until Tuesday afternoon, according to a spokesperson for the US Attorney’s Office, according to the CBC.
Ferrier had been living in the US last year and was arrested in Mission in March 2019 for using a fake driver’s license, according to court records cited by the news outlet.
She pleaded not guilty
"Wudn't me."
and spent 20 days in the slammer before the charge was eventually dismissed because it was her first offense, the CBC reported.
On Monday, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police searched a condo in Saint-Hubert on Montreal’s South Shore in connection with the ricin-laced envelopes.
Police front man Cpl. Charles said a team of officers with expertise in handling chemicals and explosives led the search as nearby homes were evacuated.
Poirier said there is a link between the residence and the suspect, but couldn’t confirm she lived there.
"The RCMP is assisting the FBI in this investigation," Poirier told news hounds, according to CBC. "We believe a total of six letters were sent — one to the White House and five to Texas."
Poirier could not say where in Texas the envelopes were sent, but Sheriff Eddie Guerra of the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office in Edinburg, Texas, has confirmed that ricin were mailed to him and three of his detention staff.
