A suspected white supremacist who resembles Adolf Hitler faces numerous charges after allegedly being caught with a stash of guns and ammunition.
Cops found convicted felon Bruce Post III , 42, lurking in woodland in Lacey Township, New Jersey, on Sunday afternoon sporting a Hitler-style mustache and hairstyle, the New York Daily News reports. He was with another man and immediately aroused their suspicion.
"[Post] was wearing combat gear and gave indications of possible white-supremacist involvement ," Lacey Township Police Chief David Paprota said in a statement issued on Monday.
The officers from a Lacey Township Police Department-led multi-agency task force, who were patrolling the woodlands for trespassers, searched the area with K9s.
They found an AK-47, a handgun and several rounds of ammunition nearby, police said. Police charged Post, from Hamilton Township, with several counts, including illegally possessing a weapon as a felon.
Authorities transported him to the Ocean County Correctional Facility in Toms River. His bail is set at $400,000.
The officers did not charge the other man, aged 38 and from Trenton. But Paprota said charges against him were pending.
Post has a long criminal history , according to The Associated Press. In 1997, he received a five year sentence for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
He was also connected to the 1995 murder of Andrew Whited , reports the Asbury Park Press, which became the subject of an Investigation Discovery channel documentary called "Evil Kin: Brothers in Arms. "
A court convicted him of cleaning up the scene after his younger brother, Joseph Post, stabbed Whited to death.
