Varnell?s mother told The Daily Beast the alleged plot is the latest symptom of Varnell?s schizophrenia. Varnell has been hospitalized six times since 16, Melonie Varnell said, adding he is OK when if he takes medication.
?Without the Haldol, he thinks he's Jesus, he's tried to make gold before, he's chased trolls.
He's very mentally ill,? said Melonie.
Varnell?s ex-wife told police he had a ?schizophrenic episode? during a 2013 arrest for domestic violence. Varnell wrote in a case document he was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, a combination of schizophrenia and mood disorders.
The woman told police Varnell said he would "die at midnight and needed to impregnate her." Varnell then raped her, she told police. The woman said she had called police to stop Varnell from hurting her and himself, and that she did not want to press charges.
Varnell was tried as a youthful offender for domestic strangulation and his wife paid most of his court fees. According to the plea deal, the charges would have been dismissed if Varnell made it to August 2019 without additional violations. (They divorced last year, according to court filings.)
Melonie said that she found out about the bomb plot when the FBI raided their house Saturday morning at 6 am. The FBI broke two security cameras and took her DVR, she said. Now her family is in chaos after the arrest.
?He has no job, he has no money, he has no vehicle, he has no driver?s license,? she added.
The summer break from college gave Varnell an excuse to be online, where Melonie said extremist groups fed into his paranoia.
?Without the Haldol, he thinks he's Jesus, he's tried to make gold before, he's chased trolls. He's very mentally ill,? said Melonie.
