A Tennessee woman with a permit to carry a gun in her home state wasarrested in Lower Manhattan when she tried to check a weapon she was carrying with a police officer at the 9/11 Memorial in Lower Manhattan.
When asked whether the woman deserved any leniency, Mayor Michael Bloomberg indicated to reporters at a press conference in Brooklyn today that she had other problems.
"Let's assume she didn't get arrested for carrying a gun," he said. "She probably would have gotten arrested for the cocaine that was in her pocket."
At the time of her arrest, officials did not make any mention of drugs being found on the woman, identified as Meredith Graves, a 39-year-old registered nurse and fourth-year medical student.
