BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — A Buffalo man was indicted on Thursday afternoon on possession of a “ghost gun.”

It is alleged that on May 21 just after 2 a.m., a Buffalo Police Department detective was investigating a shooting on Pearl St. and saw the 25-year-old Nicky Lofton of Buffalo running in an alleyway near the scene.

He allegedly refused multiple commands to stop and was eventually taken into custody in a parking lot. Police say they found an illegal loaded “ghost gun” on his person. He was charged with criminal possession of a weapon and obstruction of governmental administration.

Lofton will return to court on September 7 for a pre-trial conference. He remains release on $7,500 bond.
