A Virginia man who once spent eight years on the run from naval investigators was arrested in Somerset County early today with a trove of high-powered weapons, including a grenade-launcher and two assault rifles, along with maps of a U.S. military base and a civilian neighborhood, authorities said.
The federal government’s Joint Terrorism Task Force quickly joined the investigation into Lloyd R. Woodson, 43, who had been staying at a Branchburg motel since last week. Woodson, whose last known address was in Reston, Va., was wearing a bullet-proof vest and carrying one of the assault rifles — customized to shoot .50-caliber rounds — when police arrested him after a chase and a scuffle in a local trailer park.

Except for that 8 years AWOL/desertion. Assuming his discharge was dishonorable. I believe that makes firearm's possession a no-no, even in Texas. But remember who was President in 1997, the one who gave a us a new term, "to get a "Lewinsky"". Even with 8 years of AWOL, it might have been a General or other less than honorable type discharge, rather than a full dishonorable.

He’s from VA through and through - NOT a NJ native or resident.
It was OUR guys that noticed he was a freakazoid and caught him.

And not a single one of those muscle-bound bulletheads is from NJ either. They were all imported to a shore house because they fit a stereotype - funny that none of them could actually be found in NJ.

Yes, with carnation flowers on it and an old-fashioned salt and pepper shaker in the middle of the table.
