Inside his vehicle, officers discovered a loaded handgun, a loaded assault rifle, a knife, tactical vests and three magazines carrying about 500 rounds, authorities said.
He also had a phony Air Marshal badge, police said.
Cops said they didn’t why Vicars was so heavily armed or why he was posing as an Air Marshal. He showed the bogus credential to officers who pulled him over, authorities said.
At his home in a gated community named Hidden Ridge, investigators found more weaponry: 8,300 rounds of ammunition and four high-powered handguns.
The weapons are not legal, police said. Vicars also had illegal flashing lights on the top of his Dodge Durango, which he turned on when he was stopped on a local turnpike, officers said.
