JAY A Delaware County man accused of sending through the mail a wired and explosive package to well-known Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Arizona has been charged in federal court.
Gregory Lynn Shrader, 55, of Jay, is charged in Federal Court for the District Court of Arizona for making a threat.
It is unknown if Shrader was extradited by federal investigators to Arizona. A telephone message left for U.S. Attorney Raymond Woo in Phoenix was not returned.
Arpaio, an elected sheriff for Maricopa County, is known for serving inmates bologna sandwiches and surplus food, piping in classical and patriotic music throughout the jail, operating a Tent City for inmates and making inmates wear pink underwear.
The nine-page complaint was filed in federal court on March 6.
Flagstaff, Ariz., post office surveillance video showed a vehicle belonging to Rachelle Raimer, of Gentry, Ark., was at the post office on April 11, 2013, according to a probable cause affidavit.
Raimer told federal investigators she drove to Arizona with Shrader to mail the package. Shrader placed the package into a post office box receptacle wearing surgical type gloves, the affidavit states.
Flagstaff postal workers intercepted the package for its unusual packaging, including excessive postage.
