Man at center of Las Vegas ricin case arrested, charged

I know that I am shocked that this guy has been arrested, but I still want to know who he planned to kill with this toxin! WHO???? Tell me!

Man at center of Las Vegas ricin case arrested, charged: "A man who authorities believe was sickened by the deadly toxin ricin was arrested Wednesday on federal charges after he was released from a hospital.

Roger Bergendorff, 57, had been hospitalized since Feb. 14.

He is charged with possession of a biological toxin and two weapons offenses stemming from materials authorities said were found Feb. 26 and Feb. 28 in his room at an extended-stay motel several blocks off the Las Vegas Strip.

'He was released from the hospital and he's in custody,' said Agent Joseph Dickey, spokesman for the FBI office in Las Vegas.

The three charges carry a possible penalty of 30 years in federal prison and a $750,000 fine. Bergendorff was scheduled appear Wednesday afternoon before a federal judge in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas."
