John A. Delorimier, 48, of Gloucester Way, is charged with weapon possession counts.
MONROE -- Police responding to a report of a man pointing a rifle at houses and trees in the Rossmoor adult community Saturday morning found a man with a pellet gun, and machete, police said Monday.
Police arrested John A. Delorimier, of Gloucester Way, and charged him with possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose, possession of an imitation firearm for an unlawful purpose and disorderly conduct following the 10:30 a.m. incident.
The incident occurred on Gloucester Way, near Delorimier's home.
Township police said in a statement that when officers arrived, they found him with a long, black airsoft rifle in a long gun case, a machete in a holster, an object that resembled a hand grenade and orange noise-canceling ear muffs.
Delorimier told the officers he was cleaning out his car and took this airsoft gun from the trunk and because he did not want to put on the ground, he put it on a bench, police said.
He denied to police he pointed the gun at any houses, police said.
Delorimier was initially held on $15,000 bail Saturday. South Brunswick and Jamesburg police assisted Monroe police at the scene.
