ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The two promoters of a boxing event at Blue Cross Arena that left boxers and others unpaid for months have been indicted on various charges.
Clay Harris and Derrick Grambling are charged with scheming to defraud, grand larceny, bad check, and petit larceny.
Grambling turned himself in Friday morning, and State Police arrested Harris in Kingston, N.Y., after failing to turn himself in.
