A Texas man claimed he had a 25-gallon drum of cyanide and tried to sell it to an FBI informant, touting the poison’s usefulness in mass killings, according to a court affidavit.

Jeffrey Don Detrixhe, 38, of Higgins, Texas, was arrested Monday in southeastern Oklahoma on a complaint of possession or transfer of a chemical weapon. He waived his initial court appearance Wednesday in U.S. District Court, and a judge ordered U.S. Marshals to extradite him to Texas.

According to an affidavit, FBI agents taped conversations in which Detrixhe told an informant that he had a 25-gallon drum of cyanide and was willing to sell it in exchange for $10,000, a thermal imager and a fully automatic Russian-made AK-47 assault rifle.

Detrixhe allegedly told the informant he could turn the white cyanide briquettes into gas by using hydrochloric acid, according to the affidavit.

“I could kill a city with that … Euthanize a whole village,” Detrixhe said in the taped conversation, according to the affidavit.
