Just gots themselves a new black mayor ( Lovely Warren) and her criminal husband

But in the interest of telling the whole story, it is worth noting that Timothy Granison – Lovely Warren’s husband – was the wheelman in one of the biggest armed robberies in Monroe County history.

On March 13, 1997, three men drove up to The Source jewelry store at 535 West Ridge Road. Two of them went in and one of them stayed with the car.

The man in the car was Timothy Granison.

Going into the store was apparent ringleader Zachary Holmes and Joseph Cottrell. Holmes was 24 or 25, Granison was 17 or 18, and Cottrell was 16 or 17.

Holmes and Cottrell had handguns.

While being shown a tray of engagement rings by a female employee of The Source, Holmes vaulted the sales counter and put his gun to the woman’s head, shouting that he was going to kill her.

Then handfuls of jewelry were thrown into bags and a mad dash was made for the door. A trail of jewelry showed the course Holmes and Cottrell took to Granison and the car.

Total amount of the haul: Something like $900,000.

That’s just shy of a million dollars and excepting a couple of armored-car jobs, that’s at the elite top end of anybody’s list of Rochester stick ‘em ups.
