Man with guns, grenades, map of military base arrested in NJ

A man was arrested Monday after several high-powered weapons and a map of a U.S. military base were found in his New Jersey motel room, police said Tuesday.

Lloyd Woodson, 43, of Reston, Va., tried to hide when he was spotted acting suspiciously outside a trailer park in Branchburg, N.J., with several heavy weapons including grenades.

He then took off and was later busted. Police say they found more weapons including an assault rifle, a semi-automatic gun and a map of a U.S. military base inside a motel room where he was staying.

According to the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office, police received a 911 call just before 4 a.m. local time (9 a.m. GMT) about a suspicious man at a Quick Check convenience store on Route 28.

Federal terror investigators are assisting police in the case. Woodson faces multiple weapons charges.
