Police: Forged Driver’s License Bought for $150 Doesn’t Do the Job at Darien Traffic Stop
|
When a 39-year-old man driving a green Subaru was stopped on Ledge Road at the Interstate 95 by a police officer, the man handed over a driver’s license which the officer realized was obviously fraudulent, according to police. Police gave this account of what happened, including accusations not proven in court:
The identification, purporting to be a New York driver’s license identifying the driver as “Eddy Moreno,” appeared to have been glued together. Asked about the license, the driver insisted several times that it was legitimate and that it properly identified him. The officer, who first saw the Subaru on the Post Road, had stopped it because the car didn’t have a front license plate, and the back license plate belonged on a red Honda Accord. The driver admitted that the license didn’t belong with that car, but added that the car belonged to a friend.
