(The Center Square) – On Monday, Matthew Unglesbee, a 37-year-old Quincy resident, was charged with mailing threatening letters to multiple members of the state’s congressional delegation. According to a criminal complaint filed in the U.S. District Court in the Central District of Illinois, Unglesbee mailed four letters, postmarked in Springfield on Oct. 19, in plain envelopes with handwritten addresses, including the return listing his name and address.
