Democrat Mayor’s Home Raided In Connection To Major Drug Bust; Husband Hit With Gun, Drug Charges

The home of embattled Democratic Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren was raided Wednesday evening in connection to a major seven-months-long drug investigation.

The mayor’s husband, Timothy Granison, was arrested and hit with two drug charges and one gun charge.

Monroe Country District Attorney Sandra Doorley said during a Thursday morning press conference that authorities have reached out to Warren in connection to the investigation but have yet to get a response.

Doorley also promised forthcoming charges and refused to deny or confirm if Warren is tied to the bust.

Granison pleaded not guilty on Thursday morning to two counts of criminal possession of controlled substance in the third degree and criminal possession of a firearm, according to Rochester First.

The judge was unable to place bail due to the nature of the charges and Granison was released on his own recognizance.

Takeaways from the Thursday morning press conference: 

• Granison’s arrest was part of a seven months long investigation; he was not the initial target
• There were numerous warrants executed on Wednesday night, in addition to the Granison/Warren home. Seven locations were hit between Wednesday night and Thursday morning and more arrests are expected.
• At the time of the arrest, only the couple’s daughter was home, prompting  questions from reporters concerning potential child endangerment charges  in relation to the gun charge. Doorley refused to comment but noted more charges are coming.
• There has already been 2 kilos of crack cocaine confiscation from the busts, which equates to a street value of more than $60,000. Three firearms have been confiscate and more than $100,000 in cash was recovered.
• Doorley would not confirm nor deny Mayor Warren’s potential involvement  in the investigation, including wire-tapping.
