Three Pennsylvania residents accused of trying to drive into New York City with a cache of weapons were arraigned Monday in New Jersey on multiple charges.
50 year old John Cramsey and 53 year old Dean Smith, both of Zionsville, and 29 year old Kimberly Arendt, of Lehighton, formally pleaded not guilty to the weapons charges contained in the 63-count indictment.
They were stopped at the entrance of the Holland Tunnel in Jersey City in June in a truck that had gun-rights decals on it. Police say the vehicle had a cracked windshield.
The indictment accuses Cramsey, Smith and Arendt of possessing handguns and a shotgun without the proper permits and having knives under inappropriate circumstances.
All three remain free on bail.
