At 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 16, New Castle police officers answered a call from the scene of a minor car accident in the parking lot behind One South Greeley Avenue (behind the Senior Center). When officers asked the drivers of both cars to produce their licenses, one driver complied, the other told police he didn’t have his license with him.

Officers asked him for his name and he gave one.  But the officers soon realized that Modesto Naulaguari, 24, of White Plains, had given them a false name to prevent them from learning that his driver’s license had been suspended.  Naulaguari was arrested and charged with criminal impersonation, a Class A Misdemeanor as well as with operating a motor vehicle while his license was suspended, a misdemeanor under the State’s Vehicle and Traffic Law.  He was arrested and escorted to police headquarters, where his picture and fingerprints on were taken. He was issued an appearance ticket to return to town court on April 1, 2010, and released.
