BARNEGAT -- A package containing a small arsenal's worth of guns arrived at a home on Deer Run Drive South last month, allegedly the result of a mix-up at a package sorting facility.

Now the man who police say received that package is in trouble with the law.

An investigator with shipper UPS notified police Wednesday that the shipment from Ruger Guns in Connecticut ended up at a local home instead of its intended destination, a Ruger dealer at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. The package containing eight handguns and three rifles was damaged and when the weapons were repackaged at the UPS facility in Secaucus, an incorrect address label was placed on the new box, the investigator told police. The package arrived in Barnegat Nov. 25, police said.

An investigation by Sgt. Gary Larussa and Ptlmn. Richard Carr turned up all the weapons and also led to the arrest of Kevin Nagle, 33, of Barnegat. Nagle was being held on $100,000 bail at the Ocean County Jail on charges of theft by failure to make proper disposition, unlawful possession of handguns and unlawful possession of rifles.
