"Joshua Thompson, 38, is charged with more than 40 charges related to weapons, including improper storage of large capacity firearms, as well as charges of trafficking methamphetamine and violating an order to surrender his weapons. Despite being required to surrender all of his weapons earlier this summer, Milton police found five unregistered assault rifles, five unregistered handguns, 2,000 rounds of ammunition, 76 magazines, four ballistic vests, and tourniquets at Thompson's home, a police report filed in Quincy District Court said."
""The location of the firearms, ballistic vests and tourniquets at multiple entry points is cause for concern beyond just improper storage, Mr. Thompson appears to be preparing himself for some type of conflict," a Milton police detective wrote. Thompson's lawyer Peter Pasciucco confirmed his employment as a lieutenant with the department, and the Boston Fire Department did not return a request for comment. Thompson is also a war veteran, Pasciucco added."
A Boston fire lieutenant, Joshua Thompson, 38, faces more than 40 charges tied to weapons and methamphetamine trafficking. He was ordered to surrender all firearms under a harassment prevention order after his wife filed for protection. Milton police later discovered multiple unregistered assault rifles and handguns, thousands of rounds of ammunition, dozens of magazines, ballistic vests, and tourniquets at his home. Some weapons were allegedly staged at entry points to the residence. Police reported three firearms remained unaccounted for as of July 11 and his license to carry had been revoked. His wife alleged he prevented her from leaving the home.
