Cops: Vehicle Owner Lied About Identity
The following arrest information was supplied by the Washington Township Police Department. It does not indicate a conviction.
A 26-year-old Long Branch man was arrested after trying to lie about his identity during a motor vehicle stop on Mission Road, Washington Township Police Lt. Mark Niemynski said.
Officer Michael Hade stopped a Ford minivan on July 25 for having a fake Pennsylvania registration, Niemynski said. Hade then determined the passenger was also the owner of the vehicle, and the passenger tried giving the officer a fake name and date of birth to hinder his identity, Niemynski said.
The owner of the vehicle, Uelton Honorio, was arrested on a charge of obstruction and taken to police headquarters, Niemynski said. The driver of the minivan was issued a summons for operating a motor vehicle without a driver’s license, Niemynski said. The vehicle was impounded for being unregistered and uninsured, Niemynski said.
