A neighbor and high school acquaintance of the suspect in the deadly Washington state mall shooting says he was "creepy, rude and obnoxious."
Amber Cathey, 21, lives in an apartment in Oak Harbor, Washington, next to the apartment where 20-year-old Arcan Cetin lived and told The Associated Press she was so frightened by him that she complained to apartment management and kept a Taser by her front door.
She says she tried avoid him by walking the long way around to her apartment if she saw his car in parking lot.
Cathey says she blocked him on Snapchat after he sent her a photo of his crotch.
The two went to high school together, where Cathey says Cetin displayed "socially inept" behavior.
Cetin was arrested Saturday following the shootings Friday in Burlington, Washington, that left five dead.

Island County Sheriff's Lt. Mike Hawley said he spotted Arcan Cetin from a patrol car Saturday evening in Oak Harbor, Washington, and immediately recognized him as the suspect who killed five people at the Cascade Mall in nearby Burlington.
Hawley said at a news conference they had received information that Cetin, of Oak Harbor, was in the area. Cetin, who immigrated to the U.S. from Turkey, is a legal permanent resident who has been living in Oak Harbor, authorities said. He had been arrested once before in the county for assault, Hawley said.
