James Everett Dutschke was arrested at 1 a.m. at his home in Tupelo Saturday and turned over to the U.S. Marshal Services without incident, Tupelo Police Chief Tony Carleton, confirmed Saturday morning.

No other information was available about the arrest or any possible charges at this time.

Federal officials staked out the South Canal Street home of Dutschke all day Friday after searching his home and taekwondo studio Tuesday and Wednesday.

An investigation into Dutschke began in earnest when his name was mentioned at the Monday hearing of Paul Kevin Curtis, the Corinth man formerly suspected of mailing ricin letters to President Barack Obama and Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker on April 8.

1. Did this guy...

set up the man they incorrectly arrested?

[deminks]

2. possibly, we don't know the details of the arrrest yet, or the charges

This man was suggested by the defense of the man released last week.

[kelliekat44]

3. Perfect crime. Both may be guilty but not enough evidence to charge either or convict either? nt

[Sunlei]

5. they can get the info off his computers, printer and forensic info may be in the letters.

Or he may confess so as not to spend his life in federal prison.

4. The guy is a former GOP candidate and also wanted for child molestation.

[kestrel91316]

6. Big red flag right there. I'm betting he did it,

and tried to frame the other guy.

[asjr]

7. Alrighty then, he did it!

[Berlin Expat]

8. In other words,

the typical "family values" Teabagger.

[PerceptionManagement]

9. failed GOP candidate, child molester and failed domestic right wing terrorist.

[oldhippydude]

10. wonder if he will "spill the beans"

[Brother Buzz]

11. Failed Democratic candidate, too

In 2007, he unsuccessfully challenged Democratic incumbent Steve Holland for a seat in the state House of Representatives as a Republican. In 2008, he lost a bid for Lee County election commissioner as a Democrat.

[JaneyVee]

12. No, it seems he wanted election commissioner as a Dem to rig an election for the GOP.

He's 100% Republican fraudster.

[Brother Buzz]

13. That's understood, but that's not the meme the white-wing will roll out

I'm just saying.

[Beacool]

14. He also ran as a Democrat.

So let's not politicize it. If guilty, the guy is a sick creep. He sent letters with ricin to 3 people and then frames someone else for his crime.

[Mnemosyne]

29. The man he framed is a Dem, I believe the potential exists that it was done to try to hurt D's.

They are nasty sneaky bastards and will use anyone they can to cause harm. Even faux snuze using a D after criminals names that are actually R's so often, same crap.

To them, it's all political, all the time.

Jmho

15. go figure

[Figaro78]

18. Welcome to DU

This one was pretty interesting


Apparently he was motivated to frame the Elvis impersonator over a fake MENSA certificate. Dutschke Bag written all over this.

[tofuandbeer]

19. Thx! Agreed: a very creepy fellow.

[juajen]

23. My late husband was a member of Mensa, but had a

membership card. I don't remember any certificate. He joined in the late sixties. Did they have certificates then. If so, I need to go through a lot of crap to find it. Doesn't Mensa have records to verify so that I can get another one for my children, if they want it.

[Divine Discontent]

20. here's a video of him a few days ago making sure he calls the elvis impersonator the ricin guy

couple days ago

also, his dumb videos
http://www.youtube.com/user/dustytkd/videos?flow=grid&view=0

and his political video

insurance salesman, karate instructor, right wing candidate, etc etc etc...

[alp227]

21. This newspaper is actually called

the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, is why its website is called "D journal."

26. There seem to be a lot of people in that location

...who were, shall we say, "picked before they were ripe".

[McCamy Taylor]

27. Looks like a Christian Jihad to me. Round up his family and send them to GITMO.

[Warren Stupidity]

28. I want to know his religion and where his family came from.

I want equal opportunity hate.

[sigmasix]

30. wouldn't suprise anyone

It wouldn't suprise anyone to find out this terrorist is also an NRA member.

32. UPDATE- James Everett Dutschke FBI Affidavit Links Suspect To Ricin

TUPELO, Miss. (AP) — Federal prosecutors have filed documents that say the deadly poison ricin was found on items dumped by the suspect charged in the investigation of poisoned letters sent to President Barack Obama, a U.S. senator and a Mississippi judge.

An FBI affidavit made public Tuesday says that on April 22, James Everett Dutschke (DUHS'-kee) removed several items from his former martial arts studio in Tupelo, Miss.

The affidavit says tests indicated that items, including a dust mask, recovered from a trash can down the street from the studio tested positive for ricin.

The affidavit also says trace amounts of ricin were found in the studio, and that Dutschke bought castor beans on the Internet.
