Old drug offense as a possible background
According to his mother, Schmidt’s questioning repeatedly revolved around a cannabis offense from almost ten years ago. At that time, Schmidt was arrested in California with more than 30 grams of cannabis. The case was dropped. In 2022, however, a federal investigative agency contacted Schmidt again about the case and summoned him to a hearing. However, he failed to appear because he hadn’t received the letter due to a move.
