Port Authority cops nabbed a Georgia man and his wife at the George Washington Bridge with a cache of high-powered guns and thousands of rounds of ammo, police said Thursday.
Cops stopped Terry Gooden, 60, and his 57-year-old wife, Tonya, in their pick-up truck for having “a suspicious license” around 7 p.m. Tuesday on I-95 North heading towards the Bridge, a Port Authority spokesperson said.
When they were speaking to Terry, who was a passenger in the vehicle, he handed over a Georgia Firearms ID card and bogus business cards, the spokesperson said.
Police say he told them he is a law enforcement officer and that the couple was on their way to Connecticut.
But when cops took a deeper look, they noticed Terry was armed with a gun. They then searched the vehicle and found several more firearms, police said.
The arsenal of weapons included a rifle with a scope, three assault weapons, a handgun, several gun magazines and at least three boxes of ammo “with thousands of different caliber bullets,” a police source said.
Both Goodens were arrested and charged by Bergen County authorities with unlawful possession of weapons. Terry was also charged with impersonating a law enforcement officer.
