Suspected NYC jihadist was caught near major airport as new details of averted ‘disaster’ are revealed
SUMMARY
Judd Sanson, a 29-year-old suspected jihadist, was detained without bail following a weapons bust near La Guardia International Airport. Police stopped Sanson early Wednesday morning for obscured license plates, discovering a loaded 9mm Glock pistol under his seat. Further investigation revealed nearly a dozen weapons, an NYPD bullet-proof vest, 179 rounds of ammunition, and a disturbing photo on Sanson’s Facebook page. Prosecutors emphasized the potential disaster averted by this arrest, as Sanson was just blocks from the airport. He faces weapons charges and remains in custody at Rikers Island pending a court appearance.
