Trouble began for Franniel Reyes Saturday morning, July 27, when a New Jersey State Police trooper attempted to conduct a motor vehicle stop in the eastbound lanes for a moving violation at Exit 7 in Bloomsbury, NJSP Sgt. Charles Marchan said.
A short time later, another trooper not involved in the initial stop saw the vehicle disabled due to a crash on State Highway 173, according to Marchan.
Reyes was seen by a trooper getting out of the disabled vehicle and fleeing on foot. With help of other troopers, they found him a short time later.
Reyes was arrested, and further investigation determined he was under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, Marchan said.
A search of the vehicle turned up ghost gun, high-capacity magazines, and hollow-point ammunition, according to the sergeant.
Reyes was charged with eluding, obstruction, unlawful possession of a handgun, possession of high-capacity magazines, hollow point ammunition, and possession of a ghost gun. He was lodged in Warren County Jail pending a detention hearing.
