Police attempted to reach out to Revere in late January, but he refused to open the door and would not answer questions. Officers entered his home days after initially making contact and found a bolt-action rifle, a semi-automatic pistol and several hundred rounds of ammunition.

Revere was arrested Monday on six counts of written threats to kill or do bodily harm. He was being held on $60,000 bond.
