Police say a South Shore man who was about to be evicted pulled an AK-47 assault rifle on his landlord when he approached the tenant.

The landlord called the police, and when officers arrived at the home, Frank Johnson, 54, told police that he owned a rifle.

Officers found the AK-47, a stockpile of ammunition and no valid firearm owner's identification card. Police said his FOID card had been revoked.

According to the Tribune, police say Johnson had "nearly 400 rounds of ammunition for the rifle, extended magazines with ammunition and 36 rounds for a .357.’

Johnson faces charges of felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, unlawful use of a weapon and possession of ammunition without an FOID card.
