HTN: Falls Lawmaker Arrested

A Niagara Falls councilman spent some time behind bars this weekend. Police say 36-year-old Councilman Steven Fournier was handcuffed just before 3 a.m. early Saturday morning at Bragg's Tavern, and was allegedly highly intoxicated. Authorities say the Councilman lunged at an officer and hurled a racial slur before being cuffed by police. Fournier says he was being attacked by another bar patron, when he was unexpectedly handcuffed. The Councilman says he has a lawyer and will fight the charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
