Just a month before unleashing a deadly rampage at the Washington Navy Yard, crazed gunman Aaron Alexis told cops he hearing voices and that people were sending “vibrations to his body” to keep him from sleeping, officials said Tuesday.
Alexis‘ bizarre rantings can be found in a police report in Rhode Island, where Newport cops came to his hotel room one day last month at 6 a.m. and listened to him ramble about a “microwave machine” that that was being used to send vibrations through the ceiling to keep him from sleeping.
Alexis stayed at three different hotels that night, Aug. 7, to try to elude the imagined evil-doers, yet insisted to cops that he had never had any sort of mental episode.
“I advised … to stay away from the individuals that are following him and to notify NPD if they attempt to make contact with him,” an officer wrote in the report.
Alexis told the officers that he was a naval contractor, and that he had gotten into an altercation with someone at the airport during a flight from Virginia to Rhode Island.
He said the person “had sent three people to follow him and to keep him awake by talking to him and sending vibrations to his body” cops said
Alexis told the cops he “had never felt anything like this before,” and that “he was worried these people were going to harm him,” the report said.
It was not clear why Alexis was in Rhode Island.
