Paffendorf was arrested in Carlsbad, California, on Tuesday, and court documents seen by the CBS affiliate KFMB-TV revealed he told Rupnow about a potential attack on a government building.
FBI agents revealed he admitted to them that he had told Rupnow he would arm himself with explosives and a gun.
Locals said as many as 15 cops swooped on his home as part of their probe.
“They had their full guns out all over the street,” resident Alex Gallegos said.
The arrest came as the victims of Monday’s shooting were identified.
