Woman Arrested for Speeding, Unlicensed Driving and Impersonation

Who Are You? A 39 year-old White Plains woman was arrested for false impersonation, unlicensed driving and speeding when police stopped her on the Post Road in Scarsdale on the afternoon of November 10th. Police clocked her driving 47 mph in her 2012 Hyundai. They stopped and asked her for a license and she did not have one. When asked her name, she provided a name that proved to belong to her husband. After several tries she gave a name that was not on file with the DMV. Pressed further, she gave police her real name and a search revealed that her license had been suspended in March, 2011 for failure to answer a summons from Scarsdale Village Court. She later admitted to applying for a new driver’s license under an assumed name to avoid dealing with the warrant.

The woman’s husband came to Scarsdale to pick up the couple’s three year-old daughter who was in the car with her. She was arrested and taken to headquarters where she was released on $500 bail pending a court date.
