TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Authorities are investigating who sent
Gov. Charlie Crist a threatening letter containing a suspicious
white powder.
The letter, which tested nontoxic, was intercepted at the
Florida Department of Law Enforcement's mail center at the state
capitol. It was immediately sent to the Florida Department of
Health for analysis, and preliminary results showed the substance
wasn't harmful.
The threat was first reported by The Miami Herald on Thursday.
FDLE spokeswoman Heather Smith says investigators believe the
letter was unrelated to one received at a John McCain office in
Colorado. Smith says the FDLE is satisfied Crist is safe and
secure.
