Richard Oakes was expected to be arraigned in U.S. District Court, Syracuse, this afternoon on falsifying business record charges, ATF agents said. A second raid at an unknown location in St. Lawrence County was also being done. “The investigation is still evolving,” said Ari C. Shapira, ATF resident agent in charge of Syracuse office. Straight Shooters opened in November 1999 selling rifles, shotguns and handguns, along with ammunition and scopes, according to its Web site. See Wednesday's Times for the complete story.
