A Buffalo man walked across a parking lot and right into jail on a wide variety of drug, gun, gambling and child neglect charges Saturday afternoon.

The officers observed Good arrive in a vehicle accompanied by a woman and two small children around 1:30 p.m. He exited the vehicle and began walking across the parking lot when the officers moved in and stopped him.

A search of Good turned up 44 grams of cocaine in his front left pocket and he was placed under arrest. It was then the charges against Good began to pile up.
