Police: Lakeview traffic stop leads to drug, gun arrest

A Lakeview man was arrested and charged with drug and weapon possession after a traffic stop Tuesday evening in Lakeview, Nassau County police said.

Fraiser was charged with second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, two counts of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of a firearm, seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of marijuana, third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and three additional vehicle and traffic law violations, police said.

He is scheduled for arraignment Wednesday in First District Court in Hempstead, they said.
