A city Sanitation worker was arrested today for having a stockpile of illegal weapons stashed inside his Staten Island home, The Post has learned.
Cops raided the Tottenville residence of Anthony Castelle, 42, and discovered a loaded .38-caliber Taurus revolver, two rifles and two 20-gauge shotguns, sources said.
Also uncovered inside the home on Lee Avenue were two blackjacks and a switchblade, sources added.
Castelle was arrested and charged with weapons possession.
Castelle previously ran afoul of the law in June when he was picked up on allegations of promoting gambling, records show.
Before that, he was arrested in 1994 for reckless endangerment, sources said. He allegedly fired a gun and hit a moving car.
And, in 1987, he was accused of attacking a man with a pipe cane, sources added.
The dispositions of those cases weren’t immediately known.
A Sanitation spokesman said Castelle was arrested on-duty.
He has worked for the department since December 1997.
