Update: Confirmed, White Substance Mailed to Governor Brewer

By: Caleb Howe (Diary)  |  May 4th, 2010 at 04:22 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

I just spoke with Chief Andrew Staubitz of the Capitol Police in Phoenix, Arizona. This morning, police and the fire department responded to a call from the first floor of the executive tower of the Arizona Capitol. An employee opened an envelope addressed to Governor Jan Brewer which contained a “powdery white substance.” The immediate area and lobby were closed for about thirty minutes, during which time the substance was “packaged as evidence of a crime” and sent to the State lab for analysis, says Staubitz.

Chief Staubitz believes during that thirty minutes the employee who opened the package was likely checked out by paramedics who responded to the call, but he does not believe she required any further medical attention.

The results of the lab analysis are expected in less than 24 hours, and the Capitol Police will be issuing a statement at that time. The police will be working with the FBI in investigating the incident.

    The mexican drug cartel simply provided brewer a FREE SAMPLE of the drugs they bring into the US every day thanks to the federal government doing NOTHING to stop them.

    … if part of the reason our federal government officials are having such a hard time dealing with the illegal immigration and border security issues is because so many of them already “employ” illegal aliens?

    I think it would be great were someone to compile a list of all the government employees and officials who employ undocumented workers. It may even shed some new light on why so little iican people.s being done to protect the Amer

      I wonder how many in the federal & state governments as well as the media are using the DRUGS!

      Think back to the 60′s, 70′s and 80′s when achievers were building careers and America while the losers were slipping into government jobs. Now these mullets are on government pensions smoking dope.

    That sound would be the pitty patter of MSM feet running over themselves to get the story. It’s 5:43 cst and right now Caleb its just you, bizjournal and some media in Arizona who are reporting. Good going Caleb.

    Even politico doesn’t give it front page mention. Obama going to Hawaii gets a mention. I didn’t know that, Djou know that? (sorry bad election pun)
