The Ohio County Sheriff’s Office and the Ohio County Judge-Executive’s office recently received suspicious letters that caused headaches to staff members.
Ohio County Sheriff Adam Wright told the Messenger-Inquirer that the FBI has been contacted to investigate.
“We got a letter addressed to the sheriff’s office and it was postmarked out of Michigan,” Wright told the Messenger-Inquirer. “My secretary opened in, and it was a blank piece of paper.”
After Wright’s secretary opened the letter, which was stamped with an upside-down U.S. flag (indicating dire distress), she became dizzy for a short time.
The staff member that opened the letter sent to Judge-Executive David Johnston’s office also had a headache for about 15 minutes.
In addition to an upside-down U.S. flag stamp, there was a marking on each letter that said, “love.”
The Henderson County Sheriff’s Office also received a similar letter.
All the letters are being sent to a laboratory for testing.
