Police in Las Vegas, Nevada, are investigating a discovery of what they are saying is the deadly poison Ricin in a hotel room. Authorities were called to an Extended Stay America hotel around 3 p.m. PT Thursday after a man brought a bag with a small container to the manager’s office. The man said he found it while retrieving items from a hotel room. Preliminary tests show the substance is Ricin, authorities said, but other tests to confirm it are under way. The mystery is WHY the substance was in there in the first place, “We don’t know who the ricin belongs to or why it would be here at this time,” stated Capt. Joe Lombardo of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
The FBI, which is assisting in the case, said it saw no link to terrorism, according to spokesman Richard Kolko. Altough officers who found the deadly poison ricin in a Las Vegas, Nevada, extended-stay hotel room also discovered firearms and an “anarchist-type textbook” with an entry about ricin bookmarked, police said Friday.
Three hotel employees and a fourth person who came to the room to retrieve some items went to the hospital as a precaution, Officer Ramon Dendy said. Three police officers who entered the room also are under watch at the hospital. All have been decontaminated, and none of the seven have shown symptoms of Ricin poisoning, which can include anything from severe vomiting, fever, cough, difficulty breathing, nausea, sweating and dehydration.
“We did have enough ricin to be of concern,” Lombardo said. “At this point, it has been contained and processed where it’s not a threat to anybody”
