Late Oct. 28, Bell was involved in a crash near the Turnpike at Ridge Road, when a passing motorist stopped to help, police said.

Bell, who was on his way to work for UPS, said he had a gun and ordered the 59-year-old Monroe Township woman to drive him away, police continued.

The driver managed to text her son, who she had been on a call with, according to police.

He in turn called first responders, who were able to find the vehicle and make a high-risk traffic stop. During the arrest, police did not recover a firearm.

Bell was being held at the Middlesex County Jail pending an initial court appearance.
