Ancient Egyptians used castor oil for its moisturizing and laxative effects, and the toxicity of castor beans has been long known. Ricin is a waste product left over from castor oil extraction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the 1940s, the U.S. military experimented with using ricin as a possible warfare agent, according <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/niosh\/ershdb\/emergencyresponsecard_29750002.html\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a>, and groups have been accused of plotting terrorist attacks with the substance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cExposure to even a small amount of ricin may be fatal,\u201d according to the C.D.C.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Clampit\u2019s sister told the authorities that he had talked about knowing how to perform plant extractions, according to court records. His girlfriend also told the authorities that he had listened to podcasts about toxins and had researched them online.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After Washington County authorities received the tip, an investigation revealed that Mr. Clampit \u201chad in fact, produced ricin at his residence in Winslow, Arkansas, for the stated purpose of setting traps for trespassers,\u201d prosecutors said. Mr. Clampit told his sister he was concerned about thieves in the woods around his home, according to the U.S. attorney\u2019s criminal complaint. Winslow is a city in the Ozarks region of northwest Arkansas with a population of about 344 residents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In January 2024, a federal search warrant of Mr. Clampit\u2019s property led to the seizure of several items associated with processing ricin that included castor beans and a coffee grinder, court records show.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After he was taken into custody, Mr. Clampit made statements on a monitored phone call from jail in which he directed someone to dispose of liquid ricin that was contained in a jar in a camper on his property, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After listening to the phone call, F.B.I. agents contacted the person whom Mr. Clampit had directed and found \u201ca jar containing processed ricin\u201d in a trash can, according to prosecutors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A grand jury indicted Mr. Clampit in March 2024, and he pleaded guilty in October.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The investigation revealed that Mr. Clampit had \u201cinadvertently exposed himself to ricin, which made him extremely ill,\u2019\u2019 according to prosecutors. It\u2019s not clear how Mr. Clampit\u2019s mother may have been poisoned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A lawyer for Mr. Clampit did not immediately respond for comment on Sunday. In a sentencing memorandum, a public defender assigned to Mr. Clampit said that he did not \u201ccommit the crime with intent to injure the United States, to commit terrorism, or aid a foreign nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The public defender added that Mr. Clampit regretted his actions and was seeking rehabilitation, drug treatment and mental health treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside
