Robert Sunday, 52, pointed a .223-caliber Ruger rifle at both “with extreme indifference to human life,” the 11-count indictment returned in Hackensack says.
Sunday also had two black powder rifles and a black powder handgun, in addition to the pipe bombs, it says.
As a convicted felon, he was prohibited from having any weapons.
Sunday has remained held on $100,000 bail in the Bergen County Jail since the March 15 incident.
Neighborhood homes were evacuated as a precaution that while the Bergen County Police Department Bomb squad spent several hours at his girlfriend’s Bell Avenue home, across the street from a Korean church.
Saddle Brook firefighters and the volunteer ambulance squad were put on standby, as well.
“We got a frantic phone call around 8 p.m. from the girlfriend saying that Sunday had a weapon and threatened her two daughters,” Police Chief Robert Kugler told CLIFFVIEW PILOT at the time.
Besides the guns, police seized knives, flares, “banana-type” high-capacity ammo magazines and the pipe bombs, which were found in a metal box in the basement, the chief said.
The 6-foot-1-inch, 240-pound Sunday was convicted of sexual assault and child endangerment in September 1993. Records show that he was also charged in Bergen County in 2001 with failing to register as a sex offender.
