On November 10, 2024, at about 3:30 p.m., Troopers responded to the area of Flensburg Drive in Pittstown, NY, for the report of a vehicle striking a fence post and fleeing the area.

Following an EMS evaluation, Graham was arrested for Driving While Intoxicated and other Vehicle and Traffic Law violations. After being taken into custody, an illegally possession handgun loaded with an illegal high-capacity magazine was discovered in Graham's vehicle and seized.
