Tupelo, Mississippi (CNN) -- A Mississippi man has been arrested in connection with the investigation into ricin-tainted letters sent to President Barack Obama and other officials, federal and local officials said.

FBI agents arrested James Everett Dutschke of Tupelo at his home early Saturday without incident, said FBI spokeswoman Deborah Madden. Earlier this week, agents searched Dutschke's residence and former martial arts studio, though it's not clear what they found.

On Tuesday, prosecutors dropped charges against another man, Paul Kevin Curtis of Corinth, Mississippi, who was arrested April 17 and accused of sending a threat to the president after letters containing a suspicious powder triggered security scares around Washington.

At a court hearing the day before the charges were dropped, Curtis said he was being framed and identified Dutschke as a potential culprit.

Yes. That’s why I just said “ping” and not Mississippi.

It will be reported this way: "A Mississippi man, who was the Republican candidate for local office in 2007, was arrested today and charged with mailing a ricin laced letter to Presdident Obama."

That's a gift - you even know how to write in their style...

Couple of questions.
1. Where does someone obtain ricin?
2. Why did he try to frame the man originally arrested? Is there a connection between them?
3. Just after the 9/11 attacks there were several anthrax laden envelopes mailed and at least one death. Now, just after the Boston Bombing a similar act, highly toxic poisons sent through the mail. Is there a connection?
