More details emerge on Stokes

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - More potentially inflammatory details are emerging about a failed restauranteur and his dealings with Buffalo City Hall.

According to the Buffalo News, Leonard Stokes was defiant when he was arrested two years ago for having a stolen handicap tag.

The article claims Stokes even boasted of his ties to City Hall, while calling the mayor.

Mayor Byron Brown has come under fire over this incident and claims he helped make the charges against Stokes disappear.

Brown has repeatedly responded to the accusations, calling it "dirty politics".
