The FBI arrested Matthew O'Neill, 51, without incident Tuesday after a manila envelope he allegedly mailed prompted the evacuation more than 500 state employees last week.
"O'Neill has sent several documents that express his views as a sovereign citizen, and he believes that he does not have to pay state or federal taxes," FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force Officer James Colyer wrote after interviewing revenue department employee Jennifer Tate.
Tate was assigned O'Neill's dispute and received the packet May 25.
Also included in envelope: A mailing address that FBI agents tracked back to O'Neill's home address, a signature authorities say matches the one on his drivers license, and copies of documents that the state department had previously sent him.

And yes ladies and gentlemen, he really did put his name and return address on the envelopes. Just look at the photo. It's there.
Must be the type of guy who would sign a ransom note.
