He fired down on police from his third-story apartment building, shattering the back window of one of their patrol cars.
When arrested, police found a phone that was broadcasting SPD radio traffic, 6,000 rounds of BBs, nine BB gun magazines, a container holding 250 BB pellets, a CO2 canister, four BB guns, and a Crossman high-powered BB air rifle.
Along with this, they found notebooks filled with writings and drawings detailing attacks on police, weapons, stabbings, and attacks on children that the subject wanted to carry out.
Based on this information the prosecutor’s office has argued that he is a danger to the community and he is now being held on $50,000 bail.
