21-Year-Old Somehow Driving With 81 License Suspensions

A 21-year-old man was arrested Wednesday afternoon after police pulled him over and discovered that his license had been suspended 81 times on eight different dates, Suffolk Police said.

Highway Patrol Officer Charles Nicotra was monitoring traffic with a plate reader on eastbound Sunrise Highway in Oakdale around 12:40 p.m. when the reader indicated that the license plate on a 2007 Chrysler 300 was suspended.

Nicotra pulled over the vehicle at Exit 46 and it was determined that that the driver, Dillon Garcia, was driving with a license that had been suspended 81 times, police said.

Garcia, of Medford, charged with second degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and a warrant. He was also issued summonses for a suspended license plate, failure to surrender the license plate and an uninsured vehicle, police said. The vehicle was impounded.

Garcia will be held overnight at the Fifth Precinct and is scheduled for arraignment at First District Court in Central Islip Thursday.
