The Trump-loving Utah man who was killed by the FBI on Aug. 9 had a history with gun violence, records obtained by The Salt Lake Tribune show. Craig Robertson was involved in a 2018 scuffle with two Google Fiber workers, allegedly pointing his gun at the pair who needed to reach a utility pole in his backyard. The Salt Lake Tribune reports the 75-year-old later answered the door with an AR-15 when cops came to investigate, “which triggered a bit of a stand off,” police said. Robertson was ultimately not arrested or charged over the matter. Robertson was shot by the FBI last week after he allegedly pointed a gun at federal agents who were raiding his home. Robertson had made threats to President Joe Biden and New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg on social media, authorities allege.
