Police said Edward A. Hector, of Rome, was reportedly standing in the roadway blocking traffic near Pinti Field at about 9:30 p.m. on Feb. 6. Officers responded and cleared the roadway, and they said Hector was found to be in possession of a handgun.
His underdog campaign victory and the somewhat icy transition that followed are among some of the topics touched upon by Rome Mayor Jeffrey M. Lanigan in his first appearance after winning office on the Another Round podcast, hosted by the Sentinel Media Company. Mayor Lanigan and Sentinel Owner Bradley Waters said they hope to make his appearances a monthly event.
