In 2013, Richardson was arrested for sending ricin-laced letters to Obama, Bloomberg and Mark Glaze, who was the director of Mayors Against Illegal Guns at the time. Her letter to Obama said: "What's in this letter is nothing compared to what ive got in store for you mr president. You will have to kill me and my family before you get my guns. Anyone wants to come to my house will get shot in the face."


Richardson then tried to blame her husband for sending the letters. The couple got divorced in January.
