PORTLAND — Oregon State Police questioned and released a man believed to be responsible for the suspicious letters sent to two dozen sheriff’s offices this week.
Lt. Bill Fugate did not identify the man who was interviewed in Eugene and released late Tuesday on unspecified misdemeanor charges.
He told KATU-TV the man could face additional charges after the district attorneys in each of the respective counties that received letters review the case.
Sheriffs around the state reported receiving the envelopes containing rambling, incoherent messages Monday.
Investigators initially said some of the packages contained an unknown substance, but the FBI said Tuesday that none contained powder or posed a hazardous threat.
