Officers Anthony Gorey and John Vanderlink went to the house around 8:20 a.m. Saturday.<br />Graziano opened the door, and when the officers asked who he was, he told them he didn’t have identification on him, but that he was Timothy Graziano. Gorey told Graziano he knew he was Louis Graziano and that there was an active warrant for his arrest.<br />Police said Graziano then said, “OK, my name is Louis Graziano. Can I just go inside to say goodbye to my kids?”<br />Police handcuffed Graziano and took him into custody.
