NYPD uncovers 'magnitude' of weaponry from man during traffic stop in Queens
"Members of this department make gun arrests, weapons arrests, arrests for knives every day, but an arrest of this magnitude, the amount of ammunition, NYPD paraphernalia in the car was significant," said Chief of Department Jeffrey B. Maddrey.
A man pulled over for a traffic stop in Queens was found to be heavily armed and expressed extremist views online, according to police.
Judd Sanson, 27, was arrested Wednesday on illegal weapons charges. He was in possession of a "9mm handgun, nine loaded magazines, body armor, handcuffs, NYPD uniform items, two axes, a stun gun, multiple knives, a weighted whip and an expandable baton," according to a WABC report.
"Members of this department make gun arrests, weapons arrests, arrests for knives every day, but an arrest of this magnitude, the amount of ammunition, NYPD paraphernalia in the car was significant," said Chief of Department Jeffrey B. Maddrey.
He said it's "still too early" to determine if the suspect has ties to terrorism.
The New York Post reported on some of the extremist messages Sanson has posted online.
