The report states that Pino left the scene, returned in his SUV, got out and said “move the car” multiple times.

Police said he then pulled out a rifle, later identified in the report as an AR-15 and pointed it at one of the victims, a woman.

A man jumped in in an attempt to shield the woman, the report states, and Pino soon got into his SUV and left.

Police said the woman was able to get a partial license plate number and officers later located Pino and took him into custody.

After obtaining consent to search Pino’s home, officers located an AR-15 in Pino’s mother’s closet, the report states.

Pino was taken to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center and faced a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

He was being held on a $5,000 bond.
