WASHINGTON, March 1 (Xinhua) -- A man living in eastern U.S. state of Massachusetts was arrested Thursday for allegedly sending white powder in an envelope to the eldest son of U.S. President Donald Trump, the authorities said.
The suspect has been identified as Daniel Frisiello, aged 25. He worked at a Catholic Charities child-care center in Beverly, Massachusetts.
The investigators combing Twitter noticed that a glitter bomb, which is a 10-dollar cardboard mailing tube that spills glitter everywhere when opened, was mailed to one of the white powder letter recipients, according to a criminal complaint
The company that sold and sent it, shipyourenemiesglitter.com, told investigators Frisiello placed the order and tried to send glitter bombs to members of President Donald Trump's family, said an ABC news report.
However, the company refused to fill the orders "because the names were all associated with President Trump," the complaint reads.
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service said Frisiello sent at least five letters containing white powder in the last several weeks. He was charged with making hoax threats and mailing threatening communications.
Donald Trump Jr.'s wife, Vanessa, opened one of the powder envelopes last month at a New York apartment belonging to her mother and was rushed to a hospital as a precaution. None of the other victims were hurt.
If convicted, Frisiello faces up to 10 years in prison.
