Richardson, 36, was arrested in June 2013 after her estranged husband, Nathaniel Richardson, told authorities that she was behind three poisonous communiqués that were mailed from Shreveport, La., to Obama, Bloomberg and Mark Glaze, who was then the director of the Bloomberg-founded Mayors Against Illegal Guns

She had previously called police and pointed the finger at Nathan, who was later cleared during the course of the investigation.

Richardson pleaded guilty in December to possession of a toxin for use as a weapon. In addition to the lengthy prison sentence (which is still substantially shorter than the possible life sentence she was facing should she have tested her luck at trial), she was ordered to pay $367,000 in restitution.

In addition to minor roles in The Walking Dead and The Vampire Diaries, Richardson also appeared on the big screen in The Blind Side.
