In May 2016, sheriff's deputies in Tazewell County responded to a call from Reinking's parents in the parking lot of a drugstore, where a paramedic said Reinking had delusions that Taylor Swift was personally stalking him and hacking his phone. The report noted: "Travis is hostile toward police and does not recognize police authority. Travis also possesses several firearms." In 2017, he lived in an apartment above his father's crane rental business in Tremont, Illinois. In June 2017, an employee of the business called police, saying Reinking had come downstairs carrying a rifle, wearing a pink dress, and using an expletive before tossing the rifle in his trunk and leaving the building. On another occasion around the same time, a public pool director called police to report Reinking had come to the pool in a "pink women's housecoat" and then exposed himself to lifeguards.<ref>[https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/22/us/travis-reinking-waffle-house-shooting/index.html The Waffle House shooting suspect thought Taylor Swift was stalking him and showed other signs of delusion], ''CNN''</ref> In July 2017, the U.S. Secret Service arrested Reinking near the White House after he crossed a barrier and refused to leave.
