伊利诺伊州Quincy男子Matthew Unglesbee被控向国会办公室寄含不明物质信件：10月25日被捕，拘留听证定于10月28日
美国伊利诺伊州亚当斯县 Quincy 市：伊利诺伊中区联邦检察官办公室宣布，现年36岁、住在 Quincy 的 Matthew Unglesbee 于10月25日在联邦执法人员执行联邦搜查令后被捕——一份已于10月26日解封的联邦刑事起诉书指控他涉嫌向国会议员办公室邮寄装有不明物质的信件，面临提供虚假信息与制造骗局、邮寄威胁性通讯两类联邦指控。
联邦治安法官 Douglas J. Quivey 于10月26日主持其首次出庭，并把拘留听证定于10月28日下午3时在 Springfield 的联邦法院举行。检方表示，由于本案以刑事起诉书（complaint）形式立案，指控细节目前有限；刑事起诉书仅为指控，被告在被证明有罪之前推定无罪。
联邦检察官 Gregory M. Gilmore 表示，利用邮件威胁他人、包括邮寄带威胁性的物质，不会被容忍，这类威胁将被彻查并以法律的最大力度起诉。联邦调查局（FBI）Springfield 分局主管特别探员 Ryan Presley 表示，向国会办公室邮寄不明物质会制造恐惧、扰乱对民主至关重要的公共机构运作。
此案由联邦调查局 Springfield 分局联合反恐任务部队与伊利诺伊中区联邦检察官办公室调查，联邦调查局 Chicago 分局、美国邮政检查局、Quincy 警察局，以及伊利诺伊州警察、州务卿警察、Springfield 警察局与 Amtrak 警察局 Chicago 办公室的任务部队人员提供了协助。
Quincy, Illinois Man Matthew Unglesbee Charged With Mailing Hoax Letters Containing an Unknown Substance to Congressional Offices
Quincy, Adams County, Illinois — The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of Illinois announced that Matthew Unglesbee, 36, of Quincy, was arrested on October 25, 2026, by federal authorities following the execution of a federal search warrant. A federal criminal complaint unsealed on October 26 charges him with false information and hoaxes and with mailing threatening communications, alleging he was involved in mailing letters containing unknown substances to congressional offices.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Douglas J. Quivey held an initial appearance on October 26, 2026, and scheduled a detention hearing for October 28, 2026, at 3 p.m. at the federal courthouse in Springfield, Illinois. Because the arrest is based on a complaint, further specific details regarding the underlying allegations are limited at this time. A criminal complaint is merely an accusation, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
The use of the mail to threaten others, including the mailing of threatening substances, will not be tolerated, said U.S. Attorney Gregory M. Gilmore, whose office will prosecute the case. Ryan Presley, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Springfield Field Office, said mailing unknown substances to congressional offices creates fear and disrupts the public institutions vital to democracy.
The case is being investigated by the FBI Springfield Field Office's Joint Terrorism Task Force and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of Illinois, with assistance from the FBI Chicago Field Office, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the Quincy Police Department, and task force officers from the Illinois State Police, the Illinois Secretary of State Police, the Springfield Police Department and the Amtrak Police Department's Chicago office.
