Friend of Ohio mass shooter faces federal charges for allegedly lying on gun form

- A friend of the Ohio man who killed nine people in Dayton was charged on Monday with lying about his drug use on a form when he bought a gun and told authorities that he bought body armor and firearm accessories for the shooter, a federal prosecutor said.

Glassman said during a news conference in Dayton announcing the charges that Kollie told federal agents that he had purchased body armor, an accessory for an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle and a 100-round double drum magazine that Betts used during the shooting.Kollie, of Kettering, located a few miles south of Dayton, kept the items at his apartment to help Betts hide them from Betts’ parents, according to an affidavit.

“He admitted that he did remember filing out the form ... and indicating falsely that he was not a user of illegal drugs,” Glassman said. “He knew that if he answered truthfully, he would not have received the firearm that he was buying.” Later that week, authorities interviewed Kollie again, this time at work, where he told them he was a gun owner and that he had done hard drugs with Betts as well as marijuana and acid four or five times a week from 2014 to 2015, Glassman said.

“Come on that’s what friends are for”.

On the 4473 it asks if you've ever been 'addicted to marijuana.' When ATF agents went to the dude's house, he had pot in plain view, and answered affirmative if he smoked pot. It had less to do with being material to the shooting and more to do with a plant that isn't taxed.

😍😍😍

Yeah don't do your friends any favors like that bc you never know they might get radicalized into domestic terrorism by our current prez and then publicly filleted to quench an anti gun movement's thirst for retribution rather than address the utter irresponsibility of lobbyists

Yeah that was the important one. Thank god he has been chargered for that. So being white what is the maximum sentence he can get for killing 22 innocent souls. Like 10 years with possibility of early parole.

Mr. Ethan Kollie what have you done. According to along with one other suggest: You investigate, then you decide.

That’s the way it’s supposed to work. Now can we just enforce that law nation wide. But there is no shortage of progressives who oppose notifying local PD when someone failed a BGC.

Enough. It’s been days and we know that Betts killed his BROTHER. Can we stop misgendering and deadnaming him?

But no charges for buying the body armor and ar15 accessories for him or helping him assemble the gun used to murder 9 people.

This is why buying a gun needs to be more serious “You’re cool, right?”

So now that the ohio shooter was a bernie and warren supporter they claim they had nothing to do with it.... How convenient, but yet blame trump for everything he hasnt done

Well good

Friend of Dayton shooter charged with buying body armor, gun accessories used in deadly attackEthan Kollie is alleged to have purchased items that Connor Betts used in the mass shooting last week that left nine people dead. So what crime are they charging him with? Pretty BS charges and not worthy of a separate press conference since it had nothing to do with the actual shooting. Might as well have press conferences for the thousands of times people 'forget' that they have a gun when going through airport security. Any reporting by nbc of Dayton shooters motivations?
