As officers approached him, they could see a man who reportedly tried to light a butane tank while on a NJ Transit bus was trying to hide something in a trash can outside a store, according to a report.

A loaded pistol was found inside the trash can, and Joshua Arrowood, 21, of Trenton was also found in possession of a blank gun, which appeared as though he had tried to convert it to fire live ammunition, police said.

Upon further investigation, police learned Arrowood was wanted in Mercer County and had multiple other arrest warrants from various jurisdictions.

He was arrested and lodged in Burlington County Jail in lieu of $20,000 bail.

At 2:24 p.m., an NJ Transit bus driver called 911 and reported a male rider was attempting to light a butane tank. Using the bus driver’s description, Cinnaminson Police located the man in front of the 7-Eleven at Route 130 and Highland Avenue.
