Man Flashed Gun At Easter Party In South Jersey: Police

GLASSBORO, NJ — A man was arrested Saturday after authorities say he took out a gun during a family Easter party at a park in Gloucester County.

The suspect — later identified as Jauwan L. Green — was found with the gun inside a vehicle with three children, including a baby, police said.

Police were alerted of an armed man just before 7 p.m. at South Delsea Drive Park in Glassboro. The caller explained that the man lifted his shirt to show a gun on his waistband during a family Easter party, police said.

The caller didn't know the suspect's identity but told police he was in a white SUV.

Officers found the SUV and pulled it over. There were three adults and three children inside, including a 1-year-old, police said.

Police ordered everyone to exit the vehicle one at a time. The front passenger — later identified as Green, 26, of Millville — was hesitant and refused to exit at first, but eventually he complied, authorities said.

Inside the empty vehicle, officers say they found a gun in the pocket of the front passenger-side door.

Green was charged with possessing a defaced firearm, possessing an unlawful firearm, possessing a weapon without a permit, terroristic threats, and engaging in alarming conduct.

He was placed in the Salem County Jail, which provides incarceration services for Gloucester County.

Attorney information for Green wasn't available in online court records as of Sunday afternoon.
