A suspect who jumped off a bridge between Providence and East Providence Wednesday night is accused of ordering a Lyft and using it to illegally traffic over a dozen guns.
More details were provided Thursday on the arrest of Joseph Darosa of Modesto, California.
Police said the unaware Lyft driver transporting Darosa, who had been under investigation, was stopped on the Route 195 bridge and Darosa got out and jumped into the Seekonk River. He survived.
Authorities seized four stolen guns from the vehicle.
In addition Police Chief Christopher Francesconi says a rifle was also recovered.
Nothing from the arraignment session yet.
