SOMERSET, N.J. (AP) - A Virginia man accused of having a large cache of weapons, ammunition and military facility maps in a New Jersey motel room is set for arraignment.

A hearing is planned Tuesday on charges including unlawful possession of weapons for 43-year-old Lloyd R. Woodson of Reston, Va.

He was arrested in Branchburg early Monday by officers responding to a report of a suspicious person. The FBI says Woodson has no known terrorism links.

Somerset County Prosecutor Wayne Forrest says Woodson was wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying a semiautomatic Bushmaster rifle under his jacket when he was arrested.

Authorities say his cache included rifles, a grenade launcher and a night vision scope. He is being held at the Somerset County Jail.

The prosecutor's office did not know whether Woodson had a lawyer.
