Henderson says postal inspector intercepted suspicious letter headed to her office

A postal inspector intercepted a suspicious letter addressed to Utah Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson and handed it to the FBI before it reached her office, Utah News Dispatch reported Monday. Henderson described the interception in a social media post Sunday, Oct. 18. ^[1]

The report said the envelope contained white powder. Henderson's office had said Thursday that postal employees were monitoring incoming mail for suspicious packages after reports of similar letters elsewhere in the country. ^[1]

Henderson said the incident would not disrupt the Nov. 3 midterm election. Neither the Dispatch report nor FOX 13's account identified the substance or reported an arrest in the Utah case. ^{[1] [2]}
