Days before the deadly encounter, he allegedly wrote online that he heard Biden was coming to Utah so he was looking for his camouflage hunting suit and “cleaning the dust off the M24 sniper rifle.” The FBI was investigating alleged threats by Robertson to President Biden who was visiting Salt Lake City.Robertson quickly confronted the two workers after he left his house through his backdoor while waving a handgun, the report alleges. One of the workers told Provo police that Robertson pointed the weapon at them as he brandished it and told them to leave.
At first, Robertson refused to put the gun down when ordered. But he eventually calmed down and complied. US Attorney's Office
