GUILDERLAND — A complaint of a car doing doughnuts — skidding around in a tight circle — in a parking lot led to weapons charges against Gerard F. Gangi, 32, of Newburgh, Thursday afternoon.

Guilderland Police were called to Tower Place, behind Stuyvesant Plaza, where they stopped a 2016 Ford Mustang driven by Gangi and found that he had a loaded Magnum Research .45 automatic Colt pistol and a collapsible baton, “similar to police issue,” in the car, said a release from the Guilderland Police.

Gangi’s New York State driver’s license currently has 21 suspensions, and Gangi has no pistol permit in New York State, the release said.

He was charged with second-degree criminal possession of a weapon (handgun charge) and first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, both felonies; and with fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon (baton charge).

He was arraigned in Guilderland Town Court before Judge Richard Sherwood and was remanded to Albany County’s jail without bail. He was scheduled back in court on July 17 for a preliminary hearing, the release said.
