Loaded Crossbow, Meth, Shotguns Found In Man's Vehicle In Camden Co.: Police

BERLIN, NJ — A driver was pulled over last week in Camden County for an equipment violation. Police say they found a loaded crossbow, multiple guns and methamphetamine in his vehicle.

Robert K. Stippick Jr.'s vehicle was stopped at 8:45 a.m. Friday in the Royal Farms parking lot in Berlin. After he became "confrontational" with police, he was asked to step out of the car, officials said.

Once Stippick got out, police say they found a loaded crossbow near the front passenger's seat that was cocked and ready to fire. Officers then saw a shotgun on the back seat.

Both weapons were in plain sight, police said.

During an ensuing search, police found an undisclosed amount of meth on Stippick's person and in the vehicle, which also had another gun, authorities said.

Stippick, of Glassboro, was charged with unlawful possession of a shotgun (two counts), unlawful possession of a weapon and unlawful possession of a controlled dangerous substance.

He was processed and released, pending a court date.
