On Friday’s Florida Roundup we led with breaking news as authorities arrested a man in connection with the wave of suspicious packages sent this week to political critics of President Donald Trump.

Cesar Altieri Sayoc, 56, was arrested in South Florida as we were going on the air. David O’Valle of The Miami Herald joined us with the details.

At least one of the packages passed through a large U.S. mail sorting facility in Opa-locka, Fla., near Miami.

The Miami Herald, citing a federal law enforcement official familiar with the investigation, reported that the package sent from the facility is likely the one that ended up on Wednesday at the South Florida office of U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
