Timothy Granison, the husband of Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren, was arraigned this morning on criminal charges resulting from the search of the home he shares with the mayor.
That same investigation, a drug-related probe by the New York State Police, also led to the arrest Wednesday of a second man.
The 42 year old Granison pleaded not guilty to three felonies — two counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and one count of criminal possession of a firearm.
Court records show Granison is accused of possessing 31 grams of cocaine and an unregistered gun.
He was released on his own recognizance this morning.
This is not Granison’s first brush with the law. He was convicted for his role in a 1997 armed robbery and sentenced to five years’ probation.
