A Tennessee woman is facing federal charges after she allegedly mailed human blood-stained feminine products and feces to her husband’s ex-wife.  

Della Marie Gibson Lathum, 37, faces charges filed by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service that she mailed biohazardous materials – a violation of the postal code. 

An arrest report indicates Gibson voluntarily spoke with investigators in April at Parkwest Medical Center, where she works as a registered nurse. She admitted to mailing the packages and a letter.

Loudon County deputies had arrested Gibson in March on vandalism charges after the ex-wife found her car damaged in the parking lot of Lenoir City High School. The children discovered the damaged car, which Gibson admitted to intentionally vandalizing, FOX 17 reported. 

Gibson also admitted to mailing a second letter to the ex-wife’s daughter, a minor, which contained statements that called the girl "white trash" and criticized the ex-wife as "broke and lazy."
