In 2011, Phan was arrested and charged with unlawful possession of a handgun following a mental-health call to his South Everett home, court records show.
The defendant made some bizarre statements to (deputies), which gave the deputies concern about the defendants mental health and safety, according to a probable-cause affidavit filed in Snohomish County Superior Court at the time.
Deputies took Phan into protective custody under an involuntary mental-health commitment. At the time, deputies confiscated a loaded .357-caliber handgun from Phans backpack, the affidavit states.
Deputies later learned that the defendant was convicted of Second Degree Assault in 1990 and is prohibited by law from possession (of) firearms, the affidavit states.
