A Green Township man that was accused of stockpiling weapons and Nazi material has been sentenced to 10 years in state prison. According to the New Jersey Herald, Michael Zaremski was arrested in June after his ex-girlfriend filed a complaint that he sent a photo of her wearing parts of a Nazi uniform to her employer, which lead to her being fired.
Police later discovered a stockpile of weapons in Zaremski's room that he had allegedly manufactured himself. They also found white supremacist and anti-Semitic paraphernalia and according to the New Jersey Herald, Zaremski "expressed a desire to commit a mass shooting of a hospital."
The 26-year-old pled guilty to six charges in October including second-degree unlawful possession of a handgun and third-degree manufacturing firearms. His sentencing was stalled earlier this month when Assistant Prosecutor Jerome Neidhardt became aware that Zaremski had expunged records. Those records reportedly revealed that Zaremski had prior criminal complaints lodged against him for strangling a prior girlfriend, bringing a BB gun to an educational institution, and threatening his brother with a gun.
The Newton High School graduate was credited for 219 days of time served in the Morris County Jail and will be eligible for parole in 42 months.
