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.

Lloyd Woodson, 43, of Virginia, faces weapons charges.

Well he could be just a pissed off gundeckin sh*tbird but the saudi grade rags and DOD site maps he had and fact he was packing the EBR suggests jihadi , then......not using it when caught / confronted with force , proves him to be a POS typical trash criminal IMO.

Thank the lord these sorts are stupid and get caught before they hurt anyone.

Kinda feel sorry for the horse having to haul the fat amish dude, the guns and ammo. Did the police recover the horse and buggy at the motel parking lot?

The red and white checked “Muslim head scarf” wasn’t there by coincidence.

This loon was going to go postal, yelling Allah Moonbat, wearing his keffiyah.

The buggy was recovered from a chop shop in Newark. The horse is on the lamb and a BOLO was issued for it.
