Police say a tipster told police that Crampton was preparing for a "zombie apocalypse" as well as potential other doomsday scenarios.

Crampton's criminal history includes battery with a deadly weapon and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon after he opened fire on police in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Spokane police also found ballistic vests at the home.
