Rochester Police have charged 34-year-old Anthony Banks with criminal possession of a weapon. They say he’s the man arrested with a gun a few doors down from the scene of Friday morning’s fire at Lake and Phelps Avenues.
Police had to sweep the scene before firefighters could go to work because of reports of a man at the fire scene with a gun.
The fire is still under investigation and police don’t know if Banks actually had any connection with the fire.
