Congressman convicted in case that entangled son, wife

2nd woman charged in death of woman shot, stabbed in park

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) — Three Pennsylvania residents face numerous charges after a cache of weapons was found Tuesday inside a van that was stopped at the Holland Tunnel, which connects New Jersey to New York City. No link to terrorism is suspected, authorities said. Port Authority of New York and New Jersey police officers stopped the van around 7:40 a.m. in Jersey City for a cracked windshield, according to spokesman Joe Pentangelo. An officer saw a weapon on a seat, and a subsequent search uncovered seven weapons overall in the vehicle, including rifles and handguns. Some of the weapons were loaded. Officers also found a large amount of ammunition, four knives, a military-grade helmet and night-vision goggles. A bag with the words "Firearms Instructor" and box with the phrase "Shoot Your Local Heroin Dealer" were also in the vehicle. John Cramsey, 50, and Dean Smith, 53, both of Zionsville, and Kimberly Arendt, 29, of Lehighton, each face several weapons charges. They remained in custody Tuesday night and could not be reached for comment; officials say they didn't know if any of the three had retained an attorney who could speak on their behalf. The investigation into the incident is ongoing, Pentangelo said. The van carried the name of an Allentown, Pennsylvania, gun range. The gun shop is registered to the same Zionsville address where Cramsey lives, according to records. Attempts to reach the business Tuesday were unsuccessful. ___ This story has been corrected to show the woman's hometown is Lehighton, not Leighton.
