ROCHESTER, N.Y. – A write-in candidate for Rochester City Council has been released from jail after being charged with threatening a sitting council member.
Clifford Florence Jr. is charged with harassment. He walked out of the Monroe County Jail Tuesday afternoon and denies doing anything wrong.
But City Council member Michael Patterson says Florence threatened him in the City Hall parking lot after a hearing in June. The complaint says when Patterson was walking to his car, Florence threatened him, saying if they weren’t in the City Hall parking lot he would “whoop his (expletive).” Patterson goes on to say Florence threatened to go to his house saying “I know where you live.”
