NEW Yorkers celebrated the arrest of the suspected Brooklyn subway
gunman, who had so many weapons stashed in Philadelphia that
prosecutors feared he might ambush police.
The shocking details of Frank James' arsenal were outlined in a
federal "no-knock" arrest affidavit obtained by The Sun shortly
after his arrest.
A keen-eyed bodega worker spotted James walking in Manhattan's East
Village Wednesday afternoon and called the police, who slapped the
cuffs on him shortly before 2 pm.
"We caught him!" the tipster yelled as he was applauded and heralded
by fellow New Yorkers and surrounded by media outlets.
Big Lee Lloyd, who owns a bar called The Hard Swallow, watched
police arrest James "without a struggle."
“He was coming up the block and someone noticed who he was and they
notified the authorities and about five cop cars came up and handled
the situation," Lloyd told The Sun.
"They just cuffed him and put him in the car. It was about five cop
cars. He went very easily ... To be honest, it was so surreal, it
was like ‘No, that’s not him. No way. That’s not Frank.'"
It was later revealed that James apparently called police at one
point on Wednesday.
He reportedly told them that he knew he was wanted and that police
could find him at a McDonald’s in the East Village, two law
enforcement officials told The Associated Press.
The fact he was taken into custody without incident is a sigh of
relief for law enforcement.
