State Police arrest Albany man on weapon charges following a disturbance investigation

On March 27, 2026, State Police of Clifton Park arrested James P. Warner, 44, of Albany, NY, for:

Criminal Possession of a Weapon 2nd, a class “C” felony

Criminal Possession of a Firearm, a class “E” felony

Criminal Contempt 2nd, a class “A” misdemeanor

A vehicle and traffic law violation

On March 27, 2026, at about 7:42 p.m., troopers responded to the area of Pine Ridge II in Halfmoon for the reports of a verbal argument. The investigation determined that Warner was reported as a witness who had a verbal agreement with an individual known to him. Warner left the location in a vehicle before law enforcement’s arrival and stopped due to a vehicle and traffic law violation on State Route 9. During the investigation, it was discovered that Warner was illegally in possession of a loaded handgun with an illegal high-capacity magazine. This incident occurred while a court-issued order of protection was in place against Warner, which prohibited him from possessing any firearms.

Warner was arrested and transported to SP Clifton Park for processing.
