## Resource

A Florida man, Joshua Pavao, 46, just got a 10-year sentence for a wild December 2023 rampage that started when he allegedly shot up his ex-girlfriend’s car with a pellet gun, then fled in a high-speed chase that wrecked multiple vehicles—including police cruisers—and scattered hundreds of rounds of ammo. Already serving federal gun time, he now faces state charges for drive-by shooting and illegal gun possession. His ex’s parents described the terrifying ordeal, baffled by his 20-year-old grudge. Pavao will serve 4 years, with the rest suspended, plus 10 years probation, firearm forfeiture, and a lifetime no-contact order. He’ll get credit for time already served since Dec 18, 2025.
