Arrested: On Feb. 23, police conducted a traffic stop of a blue four-door sedan due to speeding on Post Rd. The driver – Luis E. Aguirrepanama, 27, of White Plains – ended up being arrested on charges of using a rented or loaned vehicle without an ignition interlock device, second-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, operation of a motor vehicle by an unlicensed driver and speeding.
