TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- The woman accused of sending death threats to a Palm Beach County man whose 6-year-old son was murdered in the Sandy Hook school mass shooting has been arrested in the Tampa Bay area.
Jail records show 57-year-old Lucy Richards was arrested on Saturday in Hillsborough County.
A judge issued an arrest warrant last Wednesday after Richards failed to show up in federal court in Fort Lauderdale for a change-of-plea hearing and sentencing.
She was set to plead guilty to a charge of interstate transmission of a threat to injure for threatening Lenny Pozner, the father of 6-year-old Noah Pozner who died in the shooting at the Sandy Hook school. Prosecutors said she told them she believed the shooting was a hoax.
