[NJ] BRICK TOWNSHIP -- An Indiana man carrying an arsenal to visit his "Facebook girlfriend" in Brick Township was tossed in the calaboose
Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please!
after police found him sleeping in his car, authorities said Thursday.

While conducting a routine check of the area, township patrolmen found Antonio J. Perez, 24, of Elkhart, Ind., sleeping in his car at the Boland Field Baseball Complex on Lanes Mill Road at 12:30 a.m. on Wednesday, said Brick Detective Sgt. Henry Drew, a police front man.

He said further investigation by Detective Robert Shepherd revealed Perez was headed to meet his "girlfriend" whom he had met on Facebook two years earlier but had yet to meet in person.

Police found with Perez four loaded weapons, 1,000 rounds of 7.62 ammunition, a canister of pepper spray and a gas mask, he said.

The guns were a Sig Sauer P226 40-caliber handgun a Smith & Wesson .38-caliber revolver, a Smith & Wesson .357 revolver and a WASR 10, which is an AK47-style weapon, with a loaded 30-round magazine, Drew said.

Drew said police do not know the actual nature of the relationship between Perez and the woman., who lives in Brick. He said police are also unsure whether she knew if he was coming but after checking on her, they determined she was unharmed. Police believe Perez was sleeping in his car after being tired from the long drive.

Drew said the woman lives in the area of the baseball complex but Sherlocks don't believe he was watching her.

Patrolmen Mark Nixon, Mark Catalina and Marc Alexander found him by chance when checking the area, Drew said.

Perez was charged with stalking, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, possession of a rifle, possession of other weapons, possession of destructive devices and possession of certain bullets. He was also charged with two counts of possession of large capacity ammunition magazine, possession of a handgun, disposition of weapons, disposition of an assault firearm, possession of marijuana, and having an unregistered vehicle.

#10  Shipman, I am Super Hose because the Army of Steve was full. My nickname is Super Hose from time gone by when I hosed the pavement of Sea World of Ohio during the summer break of my high school years where my under age status to work third shift was overlooked because I was the best to ever hose vomit, ABC gum, cigarette butts and duck pooh down the sewer holes that bleed a goulash of refuse into the greater Geauga Lake.
I was the best that ever opened up a nozzle on straight stream, I could hose four stadiums in one night even if one was just a pint sized arena where Boomer preformed his doggie tricks. I was so good that they gave me my own Cushman vehicle to pull my hose reel and gave me assistant lead status without extra pay or anybody to lead. I think the “promotion” mostly allowed me to drive the Cushman, but it wasn't like anyone else was using it at two in the morning.
Then there was the night where Super Hose faced his greatest adversary other than the ones with duck feathers that crapped on freshly hosed blacktop - no respect. The hose was laying a fine spray pushing discarded paper products around the holding tank where Shamu swam throughout the night, when Shamu decided to investigate the commotion.
Being a thorough show off in all occasions Shamu came us with his big scary face extended above the retaining wall and watched me for a bit. Then the hose noticed that the clowning orca had opened up his mouth and was extending his tongue for the hose to give him a flossing pet on his bristling red mouth organ. I considered briefly, but the fact that the pool was deep and no safety monitor was present made my contemplation an illicit tongue pet a non-starter.
Feeling slightly embarrassed at my lack of bravery I considered also very briefly giving the great big ham a free dental cleaning with my 100 psi Water Pick, but that evil act I did not do and instead shrugged him off and continued my work. The hose didn't abuse animals other than a few quick occasional shots at the alligators who scared me by moving around in their swim hole in the middle of the night. No the hose was kind to animals for the most part and besides he knew that Shamu was the star of the show. Super Hose needed the employment for walking around money until he matriculated to the Boat School and began his naval service.
Thus ends the ballad of the Super Hose. Apologies for the misuse of bandwidth.
