Accused quadruple murderer Bryan Kohberger was fitted with a protective helmet as he was brought back to Idaho and booked into jail, where he will reportedly be housed with 22 other inmates.
Video posted to Twitter by NewsNation correspondent Brian Entin shows sheriff’s deputies placing the headgear on the high-profile suspect at an airport near Moscow, Idaho, late Wednesday to ensure he was safely transported to jail.
It is unclear why exactly officers decided to fit Kohberger with the protective helmet, but many on Twitter noted that Idaho permits the open carrying of firearms.
Authorities in Pennsylvania also previously fitted the 28-year-old suspect with a suicide prevention vest for his own safety.
Kohberger had just landed at the Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport in Washington state around 6:30 p.m. local time and was being escorted to a waiting pickup truck, the footage shows.
