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. Police later discovered Grant's numerous suspensions, and that the temporary Texas license plate on the vehicle did not belong on the Honda. The vehicle was impounded for evidence, police said. Grant is scheduled for arraignment at a later date.
