The woman accused of threatening a father of a Sandy Hook Elementary School victim is expected to be sent back to South Florida after being arrested over the weekend in Tampa. Lucy Richards, 57, was arrested just after 4:30 p.m. Saturday and was charged with failing to appear in court.
Jail records list the arrest location as Brandon Regional Hospital. Richards remained without bail in the Hillsborugh County jail on a hold from the U.S. Marshals Service.
Richards allegedly sent death threats to a Palm Beach County man whose 6-year-old son died in the Sandy Hook school shootings.
A Fort Lauderdale federal judge issued an arrest warrant for Lucy Richards last week after she skipped her change-of-plea hearing and sentencing.
