Worried about partners mental health

my partner had an altercation with someone years and years ago. This person ended up imprisoned for violent conduct and my partner fears him. Over the years he’s made the odd reference to him ‘watching us’ and asked me to block him on social media. I don’t know the guy but he lives locally. I was sending myself some photos from his phone today when I noticed screenshots of notes he has made in his phone. These notes are so worrying. They are basically saying this person has possibly caused the death of a relative (they were elderly and died from a fall) and that friends are involved in some sort of conspiracy.
I had no idea things have escalated in his mind like this. He has been watching a lot of programmes on crime and murder etc. I thought initially the notes were written after a few drinks but one of them was written in the middle of the day. He outwardly shows no sign of being paranoid… he has a good job, is a loving husband and father to our 3 small kids and coaches and plays sports.
this has come as a complete shock to me and I don’t know what to do? Do I just monitor it and see if it gets worse? Do I speak to someone about it? I’m so worried for him. Any advice please 🙏

Ok, so how is he overall apart from this
is he maintaining work? Maintain his commitments?is he reliable
he may be disproportionately preoccupied it really depends how it impacts on everything else

Yes he’s functioning normally. I wouldn’t have knows he was having these thoughts had I not seen the notes on his phone.
