On Saturday, Buffalo Police arrested Conti after an incident at a Buffalo home. According to the police report, Conti pushed a woman to the ground and threatened people in the home in front of children.

Conti has been charged with 2 counts of harassment and 3 counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
