A Long Island mother of three -- armed to the teeth with an assault rifle and shotgun -- was arrested for scouting out and taking pictures of an Air National Guard base in the Hamptons, authorities said.
Suffolk County Undersheriff Joseph Caracappa said Nancy Genovese, 53, of Quogue, was arrested for trespassing outside the Gabreskie Airport ANG facility Thursday night, and Homeland Security and the FBI are also investigating.
Caracappa said Genovese was taking photographs of the perimeter of the base. A search of her car uncovered an arsenal -- an XM-15 assault rifle, a shotgun and 500 rounds of ammunition.
When asked what she was doing, she replied, "Nothing."
"They are registered weapons, but they're scary weapons," said Caracappa. "It's very odd."
He said she had been at the base a few weeks earlier, taking photos and asking questions of the guards.
Genovese, an unemployed single mom with no prior arrest record, was charged with trespassing.
She was arraigned yesterday afternoon at Southampton Town Justice Court, where a judge set bail at $50,000, and then ordered Genovese held for a psychiatric examination after she went berserk in the courtroom.
"She was hysterical -- screaming and flailing around," said Caracappa.
