Fa-reaky!
Authorities arrested Paul Kevin Curtis yesterday in connection with ricin-laced letters mailed to Washington, D.C, including one sent to the office of Sen. Roger Wicker. In addition to being an alleged criminal, Curtis, of Corinth, Mississippi, is also an Elvis impersonator. And according to several media outlets, Wicker once hired Curtis for his services:
Senator Wicker tells reporters he had met the Elvis impersonator – and suspect – before. He hired him for a party once.

Yeah, we can see why he might say that.
Wicker concedes Ricin suspect/faux Elvis was "quite entertaining" but says it's his impression "since that time he's had mental issues"
