(KUTV)BOSTON - A former strip club waitress was arrested by the FBI after she allegedly mailed explosive condoms to random businesses, claiming that she was tired of being mistreated by men.
According to FBI documents unsealed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Boston, Kimberly Lynn Dasilva, 40, said she "couldn't take it anymore."
None of the condoms exploded. They each contained a mixture of drain-cleaning detergent and gasoline, which could explode when combined, authorities said. Dasilva told investigators she did not think they would explode.
On Sept. 21, 2005, a suspicious package arrived at the Bridgewater State College admissions office, according to two FBI affidavits. When it was discovered that fluid had leaked from the package, the building was evacuated and the State Police Bomb Squad was called in. A note inside the package said "Boom."
Five more packages containing condoms filled with Drano and gasoline were found the next day at a Massachusetts postal annex. They were addressed to Boston television station WFXT, Boston radio station WXKS-FM, the ?Outlaws? motorcycle club, and two strip clubs in the Boston area.
Dasilva, a single mother of two teenagers, used to work at both clubs as a waitress. She was arrested after FBI agents and state police troopers raided her home and found letters hidden in the ceiling tiles of her bedroom that allegedly linked her to the mailings.
Dasilva was released from prison on a $10,000 unsecured bond and scheduled a hearing in the case for Feb. 23.
When contacted by The Boston Globe on Tuesday, Dasilva referred questions to her lawyer, who had no comment.
