Per AP:
Routh was the subject of a previously closed 2019 tip to the FBI that alleged that he was a felon in possession of a firearm, said Jeffrey Veltri, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Miami’s field office.
The FBI interviewed the tipster, who did not verify the initial information, Veltri said. The FBI passed that information to local law enforcement in Honolulu on behalf of the FBI.
Authorities are pursing search warrants for the suspect’s cellphones, electronics and a vehicle, Veltri said. They are also interviewing witnesses on the scene, as well as family members and former colleagues.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Ryan Routh was previously charged in 2002 for possessing a weapon of mass destruction but only received probation.
