New Jersey – Somerset County investigators In New Jersey 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. Authorities have not released details of what the man was planning, but from this report, it appears they may have prevented something catastrophic from taking place.
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.
Other entities involved in the case now include the FBI, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives — both part of the federal Joint Terrorism Task Force, as well as the New Jersey equivalent of that task force, Forrest said.
In a search of Woodson’s room, police seized a Bushmaster .308-caliber semi-automatic assault rifle with a defaced serial number, a 37-mm Cobray grenade launcher, a second ballistic vest, a rifle mountable night vision scope, a police scanner, a military-style backpack, a map of a U.S. military installation and a map of an out-of-state civilian community, a Middle Eastern red and white traditional headdress, and hundreds of additional .50-caliber and .308-caliber ammunition along with military pouches and garrison equipment.

He is crazy. Terrorists don’t enter a store with their gear on.
He will be sent to the puzzle factory.
Do you have any more information on what installation map he possessed?
Grenade Launcher, Weapons, Map of Military Facility Seized In NJ Arrest…
Image:NJ Suspect woodson_spd.jpg It’s great that our LEOs caught this guy. However, there’s always concern one that we don’t know about and the ones that we don’t catch. Therefore, our anti-terrorism efforts become more significant…….
Why would they grant bail to someone demonstrating this kind of behavior? What is wrong with our court system and why isn’t there a special terrorist tribunal?
Exactly….. why isn’t there a terrorist tribunal operation that would facilitate seizure of suspects while retaining their rights? We can capture and hold these clowns, w/o making the mistake of immediately processing them in our civilian courts system.
Civilian courts system will only cause them to shut up for one thing & once done, we lose valuable intel possibilities.
Left up to the imagination of the reader & not mentioned in the body of the article, is the additional report of items found in his motel room, such as “a Middle Eastern red and white traditional headdress.” This tidbit of info might lead some to conclude, albeit possibly wrongly, that this man “could” be connected to Islamic terrorist movements. By mentioning this ‘in passing only’ leads the reader to also suspect the government, or someone in the media, wants to downplay the possibility the guy is part of the organized international terrorist war movement.
We should not jump to any wild conclusions just because he has this middle eastern style head dress in his room. But we should also not overlook the possibility or ignore the possibility, just so we can be politically correct. People want facts so “THEY” can decide, not politically motivated politicians or politically motivated media types whose opinions we know we cannot trust!
First off, a Cobray 37mm SIGNAL AND FLARE launcher does NOT possess the capability to fire fragmentation rounds. It can ONLY launch smoke, flares, and fireworks. There are gas rounds that are also 37m but they can only be purchased by gov’t and law enforcement agencies on a letterhead request. Furthermore, note that the 37mm SIGNAL LAUNCHER is NOT EVEN CONSIDERED a FIREARM. They are 100% LEGAL in MOST states, save only the Communist ones. This mess of all these False Flag attacks to spin people up and get them scared has gone SO FAR BEYOND PSYCHOTIC that it’s NOT EVEN FUNNY ANYMORE. People, you NEED TO WAKE UP and SEE what’s being done in our names. Obama is no hero…he’s just the second coming of Adolf Hitler. Check the laws for yourself. EVERYTHING is now illegal. The first things this Obama jerk did was seal his personal records and attack your food, water, and gun rights…that tells you what they are REALLY up to. But what do *I* know? You are all waiting for “hope and change”…
