Woodward, Oklahoma - Shocking allegations against a Woodward High School student. Federal authorities say the student was plotting to kill people, but a cab driver blew the whistle and dimmed him out.
Timmy Eike, 18, was supposed to be a senior this fall at Woodward High School. Eike also works at the local Walmart. Federal documents reveal a cab driver came forward last Sunday. He told Woodward County Sheriff's investigators he feared Eike was getting ready to go on a rampage.
The cab driver tells News 9 he drove Eike to work at Walmart several times in recent weeks, and Eike spoke of killing people, hiding bodies and getting out of the country. When investigators arrested Eike on Tuesday, they found a shotgun, a rifle and 250 rounds of ammunition in his bedroom.
Court records show Eike just bought those weapons illegally in the past month. The cab driver, who wishes to remain anonymous, says he just did what he had to do.
"I did what I figured anybody else would have done," he said.
Eike is charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and lying to a licensed dealer about his mental condition, according to KSWO-TV.

Timmy don’t drop that soap!

Check the state’s gun laws. Here in Illinois, you need a FOID card to buy guns and ammunition.
On the Federal Form that is filled out at the time of purchase, Form 4473, it asks if you have even been adjudicated mentally incompetent. Since it appears by the court order shown in the video that he was ordered to go to a mental institution, he is in fact a prohibited person and being such, lied on the 4473, yet another crime.

Report says he lied aout his mental condition when purchasing. Perhaps that is the ‘illegal to purchase’ part?
Eike also works at the local Walmart....Well,of course. That newsworthy bit was necessary to delve into his mind. (Sheese).
This guy looks so squirrely he needs a moose for a sidekick.
So much for gun control laws...
I must really be behind the times.
I haven’t owned a rifle since I was a kid.
When I got mine I just walked into the store and bought it.
No checks of any kind.
My how times have changed.
Thanks for the info..
You have it right. Furthermore we should all remember how hard the democrats fought to keep the mental records from being accessed during the background checks. Not that I am a big fan of background checks, but it seems to me if they are going to be done then people with mental issues should also be screened.
Dimmed him out? Do they just make up word usage on the go now?
Probably meant “dimed him out,” as in “dropped a dime on him,” aka snitchin’.
You might easily find that in any gun owners house
How can a guy who works at Wal-Mart afford to take a cab to work? A bus maybe. Shoe-leather Express, ok. But taxis aren’t cheap. It would have to eat up his whole check just getting to and fro.
...squirrely........moose.....
Somebody owes me a keyboard!
“Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit outta my hat...”
Thanks CB
Eww, he could drop the soap three times a day and have nothing to worry about.
Woodward, Oklahoma ain’t New York City. Small town independent operators are what passes for a taxi cab there. The kid could probably get the ride for 5 or six bucks one way, and that would be with a tip. It is no more than 3.5 to 4 miles from any one point in town to another. I would bet the boy typically walked to work, but this summer the temperature has routinely been well over 100 degress every afternoon.
