In the indictment, prosecutors allege that one of the firearms in the pipeline was purchased at the Fort Campbell on-base Exchange and then illegally provided to someone else.
MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. -- The man at the center of a community protest in Mount Laurel, New Jersey - sparked by his racist rant toward a neighbor - was taken into custody on Monday evening.
Water bottles and ice were hurled at Edward Cagney Mathews, and police officers, as he was brought outside.
"It was a difficult situation to extract him," said Mt. Laurel Police Chief Steve Riedner. "Unfortunately some in the crowd made it more dangerous for everybody."
Mathews will remain behind bars on assault charges until he is arraigned, which is expected sometime in the next few days.
Police say 10 to 15 officers were hit by pepper spray as they were taking Mathews into custody.
