Rochester, New York — After the charges were announced on Friday, Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren and her husband Timothy Granison will be in court Wednesday morning to face felony firearm charges.

According to officials, both Warren and Granision are charged with criminal possession of a firearm, endangering the welfare of a child, and failure to secure the firearm.

They are scheduled for a 10:30 a.m. arraignment before Cayuga County Judge Thomas Leone.

According to authorities, the charges came after a May 19 raid at Warren’s home on Woodman Park, where investigators found a rifle and pistol inside, as well as their 10-year-old daughter’s home alone. The raid was part of an investigation into Granison who authorities say is part of a drug trafficking ring in Rochester.

According to the mayor, she had been separated from her husband for some time and had no knowledge of her husband’s alleged illegal activity.

According to Granison’s attorney John DeMarco who spoke up over the weekend about the charges, more evidence will come out that will prove the innocence of Granison and Warren in this case.

“I think the overwhelming proof here is that both of the folks here that are accused, their daughter is very lovingly and well cared for,” said DeMarco. “The proof will come out as to who the firearm was registered to and I think the substance of the charges are certainly not what they appear to be.”

Mayor Warren, who is also facing campaign finance fraud charges, claims she will be cleared of all wrongdoing.
