"NYC man admits to trying to make ricin" Associated Press May 30, 2014
NEWARK — A New York City pharmacist arrested on drug-related charges admitted in federal court that he had been trying to make weapons-grade ricin and other lethal toxins and had acquired weapons, body armor, and manuals on violent confrontation, federal authorities said Thursday.
Jordan Gonzalez pleaded guilty Thursday morning in a federal courtroom in Trenton to knowingly attempting to develop, produce, and possess toxins and to possessing equipment for producing illegal narcotics.
US Attorney for the District of New Jersey, Paul Fishman, said Gonzalez, 34, admitted he had been assembling equipment and materials to produce ricin, abrin, and other toxins at his apartments in Jersey City and Manhattan.
Gonzalez admitted in court that he had acquired the materials in anticipation of ‘‘using them in confrontations with other people in the future,’’ according to the US attorney’s office.
