Matthew Unglesbee admitted to sending the letters to four unidentified politicians, officials say
An Illinois man accused of sending letters containing suspicious white powder to four members of Congress has been arrested after he allegedly wrote his own name and return address on the envelopes, according to authorities.
Matthew Unglesbee, 36, of Quincy, remained in the custody of US marshals on Tuesday on federal charges of perpetrating a hoax and sending threatening communications through the mail.
In an eight-page criminal complaint unsealed on Monday, Charis Hobbs – a taskforce agent with the FBI’s Springfield office – said Unglesbee admitted during an interview on Sunday that he sent the letters to the four unidentified politicians.

We have a winner!
Adams County Illinois in 2024 voted for Trump 72.9%, Harris 25.5%.
He’s been convicted of threatening a public official, impersonating police and sexually assaulting a minor, then violating the sex offender registration laws. Now, he’s facing his first federal charge after the FBI said he admitted sending threatening envelopes to four Illinois members of Congress, including northwest suburban Democrat Brad Schneider.
The usual suspect.
This guy sounds like he has some kind of developmental disability.
It’s always the ones you most suspect
Ahh, Republican. Who’d have thunk?
Not too swift there, are we, MAGA Matt?
Killing senators would be awesome but plan better next time.
