A 57-year-old man charged with owning a cache of weapons, including a grenade launcher, and with the intent to sell methamphetamine also owned a document "purporting to be an instruction manual for owning a slave," according to the Department of Justice.
Joseph Rubino, of Lafayette Township, New Jersey, was charged with one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, one count of possession of firearms in furtherance of a drug-trafficking crime and one count of possession of firearms by a convicted felon, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey said in a statement on Tuesday.
Rubino crashed his vehicle on July 24, and when state police officers responded to the accident they saw "numerous weapons and ammunition inside," according to the statement.
After obtaining a warrant, authorities seized from Rubino's vehicle and home a collection of weapons. Among them:
TEC-DC9 semi-automatic assault handgun
9 mm semi-automatic assault pistol with high-capacity magazine
.22-caliber semi-automatic rifle loaded with hollow-point cartridges
.223-caliber bolt-action rifle with scope
Two sawed-off double-barrel shotguns
Rubino also owned silencers, an assault rifle scope and a ballistics vest, along with the grenade launcher, according to the DOJ.
