Illegal bullets found in home of man who allegedly threatened Obama [View All]

Fifty "cop killer" bullets and a stolen rifle were among the firearms arsenal confiscated from the home of the Newark Liberty International Airport security guard who allegedly threatened President Barack Obama, law enforcement authorities said.

John Brek, 55, a six-year employee of FJC Security Services in Floral Park, pleaded not guilty on three state felony charges and remained in jail Thursday on a $220,000 bail bond.

He was arrested Tuesday, the night before Obama was due to land in Newark to campaign for Gov. Jon Corzine. Brek told another airport worker "he cut a hole in the fence to be able to shoot the president, that he was just a short distance away," according to the complaint filed in court. Brek also "simulated holding a rifle in the direction of where the president would be, with the purpose to put in him imminent fear of death," the complaint said.

Brek gave police permission to search his Linden, N.J., home, where officers found eight handguns, which he had permits for, and 35 rifles, which do not need permits, officials said Thursday. One of the rifles was reported stolen 11 years ago in Alabama, the complaint said. Brek knew the rifle was stolen when he acquired it, the complaint alleged.

Officers found 50 rounds of 44-caliber, 240 grain-jacketed Remington hollow point bullets, illegal in some states, including New Jersey, because they can pierce cops' bullet-resistant armor, said Paul Loriquet, spokesman for the Essex County prosecutor's office.

Shame on Newsday for some BS hysterical reporting on the ammo! And for the same from the DA! This assclown should face trial on the threat against Obama and the stolen weapon and if the ammo was in a firearm under NJ law then they have him on that BS law - but if not from what I've read of NJ law that ammo was legal if not in a firearm.
