EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) โ€” A Florida motorist accused of firing shots at an East Providence home before leading officers on a wild pursuit in Rhode Island last week appeared in court Monday.

More than 1,000 rounds of ammunition were recovered from the black Nissan Armada, and several guns were also found in a backpack discarded along the chase route, according to police.

Law enforcement officials brought more than 100 counts against Joshua Pavao, 43, with a last known address in Kissimmee.

Well, I see an air rifle. Pretty sure those mags don’t fit.

Some people collect stamps. Others collect art.
This guy is evidently a collector of random magazines.

Some of those are STANAG magazines, some are Kalashnikov mags.

That was my question. I see mags for an AK, AR-15 and AR-10. But none of those rifles.

Nice display. Sort of gives you that Christmas feeling. Somewhere there has to be a class in ammo arrangement for police department publicity photographs.

Looks like enough ammo for a regular day at the range.

Iโ€™d say a minimum of four rifles...AR in 5.56, AKs in 7.62x39 and 5.45x39, and something in 7.62x 51. Range day.

” I see mags for an AK, AR-15 and AR-10. But none of those rifles.”

Uhm...anyone know the ROUTE he traveled during this chase? (Just curious.)

Cops should have just waited until he shot his eye out.

They look like FAL or G3 or M1A mags. I’m guessing that he was smuggling the AK, AR, and other mags to gangs. The ammo looks like steel case, probably 7.62x39. Also there appears to be no pistol caliber ammo.
