A suspect known as Robert Richardson and possibly James W is under federal arrest in New York for extortion involving a $1 million demand to Johnson & Johnson over Tylenol poisonings that killed seven in the Chicago area. He faces charges of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution and extortion, with a $5 million bail set and a preliminary hearing slated. The case links to cyanide tampering between Sept 29 and Oct 1 and involves multiple aliases and a wife suspected of involvement.
