UTICA, NY – On Thursday, Utica Police arrested Tiffany Geary, 46, after she fired shots into the air during a juvenile altercation near Stevens St and Sunset Ave. Police were initially dispatched to the area for a shots-fired investigation when they received information about a suspect vehicle leaving the scene.
The NY/NJ Regional Marshalls Task Force located the vehicle and conducted a stop on Green St a few minutes later.

Geary faces multiple charges, including Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the second and third degree, and Criminal Possession of a Firearm.
