ENP STAFF REPORTS

NIAGARA FALLS -- Former New York State Senate candidate Gia Arnold was charged Thursday with third-degree criminal possession of an assault weapon.
The charge is a violation of the SAFE Act, which Arnold campaigned heavily against as a candidate for the 62nd Senate District seat, which she eventually lost to now-Sen. Rob Ortt.
According to police records, Arnold was jailed Thursday evening on the charge, however, a fundraising site, Rally.org, says Arnold was actually detained on Wednesday on the weapons charge, as well as “Obstructing the duty of a Government Official." The site has raised over $2,000 for her defense thus far.
