"Neighbors also told KARK that on Tuesday evening they saw guns and ammunition being loaded onto a trailer, while firefighters carried a circular saw, crowbars and other tools into the house."
Considering it was the ATF he probably was manufacturing or illegally possessing NFA regulated items. (Machine guns, Short Barreled Rifles, Short Barreled Shotguns, or suppressors)
Or he posted something online to pop a dozen red flags and have ATF come calling.
There isn't a federal red flag law though, and Arkansas doesn't have one at the state level either... soooo... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You make threats about certain things and the feds don't care what state you live in
Also considering the ATF it's quite likely that they just accused him of doing that and have no real proof. It's happened before.
Considering they were also interested in the tools, that seems highly likely.
The firefighters had the tools, presumably necessary in order to open up a Gun Safe or three.
