BRANCHBURG -- Somerset County investigators seized a cache of weapons including a grenade launcher and hundreds of rounds of ammunition today from the Branchburg motel room of a Virginia man, who also had maps of a U.S. military facility and an out-of-state civilian community.
Lloyd Woodson, 43, whose last known address was Reston, Va., today faces multiple offenses, including second-degree unlawful weapons possession and fourth-degree possession of prohibited weapons, Somerset County Prosecutor Wayne Forrest said.
At the time of his arrest, Woodson was wearing a military-style ballistic vest with a reinforced steel plate and carrying a .223-caliber assault rifle that had been altered to fire .50-caliber ammunition, Forrest. He was also carrying four loaded magazines with hollow-point ammunition, Forrest said.
Branchburg police confronted Woodson at 3:55 a.m. at the Quick Chek convenience store on Route 28 after receiving a call reporting a suspicious person. Branchburg Patorlman Steven Cronce noticed a large bulge beneath the green, military-style jacket that Woodson was wearing, which was later determined to be the assault rifle with a defaced serial number, Forrest said.
Woodson appeared "extremely nervous" as Cronce questioned him, and he ultimately ran from the convenience store toward the Regency Trailer Park on Route 22, Forrest. Officers found Woodson hiding in the bushes and he attempted to run, Forrest said.

“carrying a .223-caliber assault rifle that had been altered to fire .50-caliber ammunition”
aint no way, thats a new upper, lower, and barrel.
It’s probably just a .50 Beowulf upper and the reporter is too G-d D@mn stupid to know the difference.
I bet he doesn’t call himself Lloyd Woodson,
probably more like Abdullah Islam.
“Lloyd Woodson, 43, whose last known address was Reston, Va.,...
Northern VA is a big hotspot for Islamists.
Things that make you go hmmmm......
Article also says:
“Investigators also found Middle Eastern red and white traditional headdress, Forrest said.”
Hmmmmmmm.............
Sudden Jihadi Syndrome?
Picatinny Arsenal is the closest major military facility to Somerset? The wording "out-of-state civilian community" is STRANGE. I'd suspect one of the Jewish communities in SE New York State, just an hour or less north of Picatinny.
Possible domestic jihadist ping. This one definitely has a funny smell.
Lol, reporters think anything that shoots more than once an assault rifle. They still routinely report that police fire their service revolvers.
Glad this guy got snagged before he got going. Bad boy rifle and armored up too, whew, that could have been hellish.
Maybe an Amish community in PA. ;^)
.
The terrorist probably did not pay his final night stay in the motel..Holder..will have his charges reduced to Defrauding an Innkeeper.
bingo! we have a winner.
This is one case where the reporters ignorance of firearms might be overlooked. There appears to be “tip of the iceberg” evil intentions with this suspect. Amish uprising in VA?
After all, he be a bro!
Yeah, I’m guessing that ain’t the name he goes by.
Kind of funney, the author used all of the gun hysteria she could squeeze in but didn’t tell us who this guy is.
