CNY man to face prison, $250K fine and more after firing AR-15 at Manlius gas station
MANLIUS, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — A Syracuse man is facing possible time in federal prison for having an assault rifle at a gas station. Back in September, NewsChannel 9 first reported that then-35-year-old Richard Bradley was arrested after firing four rounds from an AR-15 style rifle inside his car that was parked outside the Sunoco gas station at Schepps Corners. Bullets went through his car but didn't hit any people. This week in federal court, Bradley pleaded guilty to possessing the rifle, which he was not supposed to have due to a prior felony conviction. As a result, Bradley now faces up to 15 years behind bars, a $250,000 fine, and must turn over the rifle. Sentencing is scheduled for this June.

Erin's Angels hosting Purple Party Fundraiser this Saturday to fight hunger in CNY
(WSYR-TV) — Volunteers with Erin's Angels have been working for years to ensure children have food to eat. With some upcoming fundraisers on tap, you can help them continue their mission. Founder and director of Erin's Angels, Sheila Dion, and Baldwinsville Rotary Club board of directors member Katherine Reap, are spreading the word about what is coming up at the Purple Party Fundraiser/Battle of the Mayors event. In this unique competition, Phoenix Mayor Brian Borchik and Fulton Mayor James Rice will go head-to-head in a Mayoral Mix-Off, showcasing their bartending skills as they vie to earn the most tips. All proceeds from competition will support the Feed Our Future Scholarship Program, providing scholarships for deserving Oswego County students in 2025. The event will feature an evening of fun, community spirit, and a chance to support a good cause. Each tip given to the mayors will not only boost their chances of being crowned the Tip Champion but will also contribute to funding educational opportunities for local students. Joey Walker from 93 Q will also be a guest bartender to kick off the evening. Other guest bartenders include Megan Swidowski from the Bridge House Brats program and Phoenix Village Administrator Jim Lynch. Sheila Dion shares seven ways you can make a difference in a child's life: Phoenix Central School District Backpack Program-Erin's Angels works with approximately 100 students weekly to ensure they are sent home with food to supplement and provide meals while they aren't in school. Donate here. Outreach Program- Providing food to school districts as needed and through partnerships with other nonprofits. This program has a positive impact through our collective efforts.
