Mar. 25—A Rochester is facing felony charges following the discovery of a loaded handgun inside a diaper bag during a search at the KeyBank Center.

Tenitia R. Cullum, 32, of Rochester was arraigned Monday before Buffalo City Court Judge Gary A. Wilson, Jr. on one count of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon (Class "C" violent felony).

About 7 p.m. Saturday, security officers and members of the Erie County Sheriff's Office found Cullum in possession of an illegal, loaded handgun at the KeyBank Center in the City of Buffalo. The illegal weapon was found inside of a diaper bag as it went through the x-ray baggage scanner ahead of the entrance to a circus event being held at the arena.

Cullum is scheduled to return on Thursday for a felony hearing. She was released on bail set at $5,000 cash, bond or property.

If convicted of the charge, Cullum faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison.
