Man Charged With Driving With 18 License Suspensions: PD

NORTH AMITYVILLE, NY — A Brooklyn man was arrested and charged on Tuesday, after officers caught him driving with 18 license suspensions and a fraudulent Texas license plate in North Amityville, Suffolk County Police said.

Gerald Grant, 73, was charged with first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, police said. He was issued 11 summonses, including having an improper license plate on his vehicle and not having valid insurance or a safety inspection sticker, police said.

Officer Steven Ripp observed Grant, who was driving of a 2003 Honda Odyssey, fail to stop at a stop sign and fail to signal a lane change on Southbound Route 110, at the Southern State Parkway, at about 1 p.m., police said.

The vehicle was impounded for evidence, police said.

Grant is scheduled for arraignment at a later date.
