RI Police Reported Gunman's Bizarre Behavior to Navy Last Month

UPI / GOPUSA

Rhode Island police told the Navy a month before a murderous rampage at the Washington Navy Yard suspected gunman Aaron Alexis reported hearing voices.

Separately, President Obama ordered the Office of Management and Budget to conduct a government-wide review of security standards for contractors and employees across federal agencies.

Alexis, who was staying at the seaside Newport Marriott hotel Aug. 7, had called police at 6 a.m. and told officers he heard “voices talking to him through the walls, floor and ceiling,” a Newport police report said.

He complained he’d changed hotels three times because he was being pursued by three people keeping him awake by sending vibrations through the walls.

He said the people were sent to harass him by a person he’d argued with at a Virginia airport while waiting to board a flight to Rhode Island, said the report, which can be found at tinyurl.com/UPI-Newport-Police-Report.

Alexis told police he hadn’t seen the people, but insisted they’d followed him between three hotels in the area. He said he had no history of mental illness and explained he was a Navy contractor.

Newport police advised him to “stay away” from the people and to notify the department if the people bothered him again.

Police then contacted the Newport Naval Station’s on-duty officer to advise him of what Alexis said and asked if he was really a Navy contractor, The Providence (R.I.) Journal reported.
