NYC, N.Y. (WIVB) - WIVB is learning that Governor David Paterson’s teenage son has been arrested for gambling and using fake credit cards.

Alex Paterson, the 15-year-old son of the governor, is being held by police in an upper Manhattan police precinct.

At his State of the State address, Paterson said, "I don't really know anything about. I just got that information myself, so I can't comment."

The Governor's office has released this statement: "Earlier today, Governor Paterson's son was taken into the 20th precinct and subsequently released to his parents. The Governor and the First Lady ask that their privacy is respected during this personal time."
