Well there is this. I certainly can see why they are investigating him.
Kerns told detectives he would be able to "make that shot" at that distance with "no problem" and that he was a Marine sniper and he would easily be able to "take a shot," according to the complaint.
Deputies said Kerns' father reported that he heard his son say someone had just shot a helicopter down before he rushed out of the house. When Kerns returned to the home, his father told deputies he heard his son say he helped the pilot and co-pilot out of the chopper, according to the complaint.
But White said that is not the truth and Kerns' statements at the site drew suspicion.
Three days later, undercover deputies attempted to trail Kerns after the search, but Kerns led them on a high-speed chase, further prompting a search of his home, according to the complaint.
The search indicated Kerns owns several weapons, including an assault rifle and a silencer, according to the complaint.
