A Tucson, Ariz., man is facing federal charges for allegedly unleashing a chemical weapons attack on a couple.
Todd Fries, also known as Todd Burns, a contractor who owns a cleaning business, was arrested Friday by the FBI, on two counts of producing a chemical weapon, in an alleged attack that created a cloud of toxic gas that forced the evacuation of a northwest Tucson neighborhood.
The alleged attack occurred in August 2009, at the home of Myles and Karen Levine, who had previously had dead animals left in their yard and had antisemitic graffiti painted on their home.
“It feels really good that there’s been an arrest made. We’ve been living pretty much under wraps,” Myles Levine told the Daily Star.
