"Judge rejects motion to suppress evidence against man linked to Manitowish Waters explosive device case"
By Heather Schaefer - Daily News staff

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A federal judge in Arizona has rejected a motion to suppress evidence in the case of a man arrested in the Northwoods last summer after weapons and other explosive devices were found in his car and residences in Manitowish Waters and Phoenix, Arizona.

Denys Ray Hughes, 59, had asked the court to suppress evidence obtained during the searches of his homes and car.

Hughes was taken into custody last July after he was stopped in Kansas and found to be in possession of glass containers, firearms, reloading supplies and books referencing bomb-making. Following the traffic stop, Hughes' residences in Manitowish Waters and Phoenix were also searched and more suspicious items, including 43 guns and 3,500 castor beans, were found. Castor beans can be milled to make the biological toxin ricin.

He was eventually indicted on two counts of possession of unregistered devices and attempted production of ricin."
