Heading: Farmer's Arrest and Post-Arrest Statements

Text: Farmer was arrested the day he arrived back in Nassau County, July 16, 2002. When the police moved in to arrest Farmer, he fled by car, was pulled over, and fled on foot into a house, where he was arrested. During the arrest, a second group of officers found a 9 millimeter pistol in the car. Farmer told the Nassau County police that he had just arrived from Virginia, where he had been living with his girlfriend Stacey and doing construction work for the past three or four months, [2] that he did not shoot anybody in Pennsylvania, that he had no role in the White murder, and that he did not know whose pistol was in the car. On October 31, 2002, Farmer pleaded guilty in state court to possession of the 9 millimeter found in his car at the time of his arrest, which was identified as one of the weapons used in the Patterson shooting.
