Navy Yard Shooter Aaron Alexis Allegedly Tampered With Friend’s Car

Aaron Alexis was accused of tampering with his roommate's car on July 5 while he was living in Fort Worth, Tx, according to a police report obtained by TPM via a public information request filed with the Fort Worth Police Department.

According to the report Alexis' roommate, Nutpisit Suthamtewakul, called police after "experiencing engine problems with his 2013 Honda Accord." After he pulled the car over, the report said Suthamtewakul saw scratches indicating "someone had used an unknown object to pry open" the door on the fuel tank. The report said Suthamtewakul also described seeing "light traces of some sort of granules inside the fuel door, around the fuel filler tube."

Based on this evidence, the report said Suthamtewakul suspected Alexis "put some substance in the fuel tank of the ... vehicle to intentionally cause damage." The report said Suthamtewakul told a police officer that he and his wife had "been having problems" with Alexis that had "escalated to the point that they have made it clear that (Alexis) will need to find somewhere else to live." It was not immediately clear whether Suthamtewakul filed charges against Alexis for the alleged tampering.

1. Mr Suthamtewakul and his wife are very lucky.

It could have been worse.

2. This doesn't surprise me. This man should have been barred from guns in 2004.

We need stricter gun laws to prevent people with his kind of past from ever owning guns.
