ROCHESTER â The husband of Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren pleaded not guilty Thursday to criminal drug and weapons charges, following a seven-month investigation that authorities said involved wiretaps and a search of the home he shares with the mayor.
Timothy Granison appeared in Rochester City Court via video from the Monroe County jail, where he spent the night after being arrested during a traffic stop while in possession of a large quantity of cocaine, State Police Maj. Barry Chase said.
District Attorney Sandra Doorley said Granison, 42, is among seven people charged so far with being part of âa midlevel drug organization that was infecting the city of Rochester.

Jacqueline Sisson, who came from nearby Canandaigua City Court to preside over the hearing, denied the request but said it could be resubmitted in writing.
Granison was released without bail pending his next court appearance June 21.
The New York State Police and Monroe County District Attorney have scheduled a late-morning press conference.
Granison has been embroiled in the criminal justice system before.
He was put on probation for five years after being arrested for his involvement in a jewelry store robbery that took place in March 1997 when he was 17 years old. Two other men were sentenced to prison terms for their roles in that robbery.
