FILE - In a Tuesday April 23, 2013 file photo, Everett Dutschke stands in the steet near his home in Tupelo, Miss., and waits for the FBI to arrive and search his home in connection with the sending of poisoned letters to President Barack Obama and others. According to FBI documents made public Thursday, May 16, 2013, Dutschke appears to have attempted to evade law enforcement just days before his arrest. Dutschke, 41, was arrested April 27 at his home in Tupelo, Miss., and charged with making ricin, the same substance mailed on April 8 to Obama, U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi and Lee County, Miss., Justice Court Judge Sadie Holland. (AP Photo/Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, Thomas Wells) MANDATORY CREDIT
