The NYPD says officers found a loaded gun with nine rounds of ammunition in Ricch’s vehicle, following a report by a private security company at the Governors Ball venue, Citi Field. Police arrested Ricch on four counts of criminal possession of a weapon, along with charges of possession of a large capacity ammo feeding device and unlawful possession of a large capacity ammo feeding device.
