Authorities have arrested another man in Mississippi in connection with those ricin-laced letters sent to the President and other politicians; this time, instead of a wingnut Elvis impersonator, it’s a karate instructor (and Mensa member) who was previously indicted for child molestation.

James Everett Dutschke, 41, was taken into custody by U.S. marshals at his Tupelo home early Saturday morning without incident, the city’s police chief, Tony Carleton, told Reuters.

It was not immediately known if Dutschke has been charged in the ricin investigation.

Dutschke faces other charges related to an April 1 indictment for fondling three different children between ages 7 and 16, from 2007 to 2013, according to court records. He was released on $25,000 bond in that case.
