Former WI GOP Candidate Arrested for Attempting to Kill With 'Radioactive Material' [View all]

The FBI arrested a man in Town of Madison, Wisconsin, on Wednesday for “trying to buy radioactive material with the intent to kill someone,” local news station WKOW reports.

Jeremy Ryan, 30, allegedly attempted to buy a “lethal dose of a radioactive substance” online between March and October 2018.

The Town of Madison Police Department confirmed to The Daily Beast that the man arrested was the same Jeremy Ryan who lost the August Republican primary while running for Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District in the House of Representatives. Agents reportedly searched Ryan’s home, and officials said there was no danger to the public.

Ryan’s alleged target was not identified by officials, and he reportedly faces up to a life sentence in prison.

Yep, I can definitely see how "both sides do it".
