Cops bust heavily armed NYC man who expressed Jihadist views online, sources say

A heavily armed Queens man who has shared extreme Jihadist views online was busted in his car early Wednesday – with sources saying they feared the nut was planning something “very bad.”

Judd Sansom, 30, was taken into custody shortly after 4:30 a.m., with cops finding a loaded gun, nine loaded magazines, body armor, handcuffs, two axes, a stun gun, multiple knives, a weighted whip and an expandable baton – along with NYPD “items,” law enforcement sources said.

Etched into the baton were several troubling messages, including, “You left me no choice, I am sorry, You gon [sic] learn today” and the Arabic word for, “God forgive me,” the sources said.

They also found an orange MTA vest, the sources said.

“Given what was in there, something very bad was potentially averted,” one cop told The Post. “The intent is still under investigation. The sum of the parts had the potential for something awful.”

Sansom allegedly also expressed extremist views in online posts, the sources said.

The sources said cops from the 110th Precinct in Queens questioned Sansom around 1 a.m. after a traffic stop near 23rd Avenue and 86th Street and determined he had the weapons in his Ford Explorer.

Police initially pulled the SUV over for having an obstructed license plate. and believed he had been living inside the vehicle — and was a regular drug user, the sources said.

Sansom does not have any prior arrests in the Big Apple, they said.
