A man found sleeping in his car at the\u00a0Boland Field Baseball Complex on Lanes Mill Road in Brick had numerous firearms, including an AK-47 style assault rifle, plus more than a thousand rounds of ammunition, while in town to\u00a0meet a woman he met on Facebook two years ago, Brick police said.<\/p>\n

Antonio J. Perez, 24, of\u00a0Elkhart, Indiana, was located by\u00a0Patrolmen Mark Nixon, Mark Catalina and Marc Alexander Wednesday at 12:30 a.m., Sgt. Henry Drew said.<\/p>\n

When the officers made contact, Drew said, Perez had in his possession a loaded SigSauer P226 .40 caliber handgun, a loaded Smith &Wesson .38 revolver, a loaded Smith &Wesson .357 revolver and a loaded WASR-10 rifle\u00a0with a loaded 30 round magazine. In addition, he was found to be\u00a0in possession of a case of 1,000 rounds of 7.62 ammunition, a canister of pepper spray and a gas mask.<\/p>\n

An investigation by Detective Robert Shepherd revealed\u00a0that Perez was en route to meet his Facebook \u201cgirlfriend\u201d of 2 years, who he had yet to meet in person, Drew said. Officers were able to locate the woman\u00a0and verify that she was unharmed.<\/p>\n

Perez was charged with stalking, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, possession of a rifle, possession of other weapons, possession of destructive devices, possession of certain bullets, possession of large capacity ammo magazine (two counts), possession of a handgun, disposition of weapons, disposition of an assault firearm, possession of marijuana, and driving an unregistered vehicle.<\/p>\n

Bail was set by the Municipal Court\u00a0Judge Robert Lepore at $100,000 cash.\u00a0 Perez was lodged in the Ocean County Jail in lieu of bail.<\/p>\n
