The 59 year old NY State Assemblynan has been charged with drug possession after a traffic stop. The New York Trooper noticed the smell of marijuana. Katz had in his possession a small bag of Marijuana.
"This should not overshadow the work I have done over the years for the public ... I am confident that once the facts are presented that this will quickly be put to rest."
