A man accused of keeping a large weapons cache at his northwestern New Jersey home will remain jailed.
A federal judge made the decision Thursday, agreeing with prosecutors that 57-year-old Joseph Rubino could pose a danger to the community.
His attorney, Dan Marchese, argued that prosecutors had sensationalized their findings in order to paint Rubino as a potentially violent, white supremacist.
State police say they found numerous weapons and ammunition inside Rubino's vehicle after it crashed July 24. They later executed search warrants on the vehicle and at Rubino's Lafayette Township home.
Authorities say numerous guns were found in the home - including rifles, shotguns and handguns - along with high-capacity magazines, ammunition, a grenade launcher and other related items. Officers also allegedly found methamphetamine, marijuana and white supremacist literature.
