Wild man. Nothing about the warrant. That’s when we find out wtf went down.
“Neighbors also told KARK that on Tuesday evening they saw guns and ammunition being loaded onto a trailer, while firefighters carried a circular saw, crowbars and other tools into the house.”
Considering it was the ATF he probably was manufacturing or illegally possessing NFA regulated items. (Machine guns, Short Barreled Rifles, Short Barreled Shotguns, or suppressors)
Or he posted something online to pop a dozen red flags and have ATF come calling.
There isn’t a federal red flag law though, and Arkansas doesn’t have one at the state level either… soooo… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Considering they were also interested in the tools, that seems highly likely.
Police shoot Airport Executive while attempting to arrest him
FTFY
They weren’t even trying to arrest him, just search his house.
Also, he ended up with a bullet in the head. 😶
“We don’t know if he’s going to make it in the next 24 hours," Matthew Malinowski told NBC News by phone in his first public comments. “He was shot in the head.”
Sounds like he took at least one shot at the ATF which goes a long way to explain how he got shot in the head…
Let me just update the scorecard here:
Wonder what the search warrant was for.
I would guess weapon/drug trafficking? Airport exec, ATF and the guy likes guns anyway…
