Suspected NYC jihadist was caught near major airport as new details of averted ‘disaster’ are revealed
By: Khristina Narizhnaya and Jorge Fitz-Gibbon, NY Post, June 13, 2024:
ADVERTISEMENTThe suspected Queens jihadist busted with an arsenal of weapons in his SUV was ordered held without bail on Thursday – as disturbing new details of the case emerged in court.
Judd Sanson, 29, was just blocks from La Guardia International Airport when he was stopped by alert cops early Wednesday morning – and nervously reached under the seat of his SUV during the first few tense moments of the encounter with the officers, prosecutors revealed.
They later found a loaded 9mm Glock pistol under the driver’s seat.
“Sorry, there is a lot of drunk people nowadays,” Sanson allegedly told the cops after they stopped him for having obscured license plates on the vehicle. “I live in Jamaica. I was visiting my uncle.”
But police had already spotted a knife strapped to Sanson’s leg, along with an MTA reflective vest and “a makeshift axe hanging from the ceiling” and a “makeshift sword” inside the vehicle, Queens Assistant District Attorney Dylan Nesturrick said in Queens Criminal Court.
ADVERTISEMENTIn all, the prosecutor said nearly a dozen weapons, an NYPD bullet-proof vest and 179 rounds of ammunition were found inside the black Ford Explorer.
He also said investigators found a “disturbing photo” on Sanson’s Facebook page but did not elaborate.
“This car stop averted what could have been a disaster for the citizens of Queens, New York City and potentially even the country,” Nesturrick said.
