The suspect, Bruce Post III, 42, of Hamilton, was arrested and transported to the Ocean County Correctional Facility, where he is being held on $400,000 cash bail, NJ1015.com reports.
Police said a search of the woods in Lacey Township, Ocean County, turned up an AK-47, a Walther P38 9 mm handgun, various forms of ammunition and several rounds of high-capacity magazines, NJ1015.com reports.

The other person in the vehicle was not identified or arrested at that time.
Post's charges include illegal possession of a weapon as a felon, unlawful gun possession and prohibited weapons possession for having high-capacity magazines.
