"...who is accused of jesting..."
I am unaware he was accused of making jokes.
Also, the woman he was with was in another place, the Philippines, and she was questioned by police.
I am pretty sure Paddock is no more than a patsy in this event, as a 64 year old man who's worked as a professional for the defense industry as a career is incapable of lugging hundreds of pounds of guns and ammo into a hotel where they aren't allowed without being detected.
He may have been a 'useful idiot', as I have seen a picture of him wearing a pussy hat at an anti-Trump rally, and is reported to have had reams of Antifa literature in his hotel room. He may have been recruited to rent that particular room, and even bring his personal firearms (two or three, that he did own, if they turn up amongst his effects), but then a fire team used him as cover for the actual terror attack.
At least, that's what the evidence indicates is most likely.
