Bruno’s Granddaughter, 20, Is Found in Times Square
The missing granddaughter of Joseph L. Bruno, the majority leader of the State Senate, was found early yesterday in Times Square, where she had gone with a man who has been convicted of trying to bribe a Bronx police officer, officials said.
The man, John Savage, 30, was arrested on a probation violation shortly after he pulled up in a car at Broadway and 45th Street, according to the New York police. In 2002, Mr. Savage was convicted of paying a police officer $690 to tip him off about crackdowns on prostitution in the Hunts Point section of the Bronx, an area plagued by that problem. The officer reported the bribe offer and took part in the investigation.
