Arrests: Police arrested the driver of a 2016 Ford Fiesta following an accident in which the driver’s car was rear-ended at Popham and Post roads July 30. The driver – Daniel Joseph, 37, of Larchmont – presented police with a non-driver ID and stated he did not have a driver’s license. A computer database check indicated Joseph’s NYS driver’s license had been suspended 12 times for failing to pay a driver’s responsibility assessment and failure to answer summonses in four jurisdictions, including Scarsdale in 2015, and failure to pay two fines in two jurisdictions. Additionally, and active bench warrant issued out of Scarsdale was discovered. As a result, Joseph was arrested in execution of the bench warrant and additionally charged with operation of a motor vehicle by an unlicensed driver and second-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle with three or more suspensions. Joseph was released with an appearance ticket for Scarsdale Village Justice Court, returnable on July 31.

On Aug. 1, while conducting traffic patrol on Weaver Street, a 2017 Chevrolet Suburban caused the patrol car’s license plate reader to sound, indicating the car’s registration was “suspended or revoked” due to a lapse in insurance. Patrol attempted to conduct a traffic stop but the driver pulled into Balducci’s parking lot on Palmer Avenue and turned off the car’s lights in an attempt to conceal the car’s presence. When police pulled into the parking lot, the driver exited the parking lot at a high rate of speed. Patrol activated his car’s lights and sirens to signal the driver to stop. While fleeing and speeding, the driver lost control of the car and struck ornamental trees on Innes Road and drove onto a homeowner’s lawn. The car sustained heavy front-end damage and two flat tires. Police handcuffed the driver – Adil Akram, 23, of Brooklyn – and escorted him out of the car. Investigation showed his privileges to drive in New York State had been suspended 12 times on six different dates. A fraudulent NYS inspection sticker was also observed on the windshield. Inside the car, a THC vape pen and cartridge were discovered. Due to the car’s registration being revoked, the car’s license plates were removed, and the car was towed to the impound lot. Akram was charged with second-degree possession of a forged instrument, unlawfully fleeing a police officer in a vehicle, criminal possession of controlled substance, reckless driving, second-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of motor vehicle, operation of motor vehicle with a suspended registration, criminal mischief involving reckless property damage greater than $250, passing a red light, speeding and an equipment violation. Prior to Akram’s arraignment at Scarsdale Village Justice Court, the district attorney’s office recommended $20,000 cash bail or a $40,000 bail bond. Judge Alemany remanded Akram to Westchester County Jail on $10,000 cash bail or a $20,000 bail bond. The owner of the Innes Road property estimated Akram’s flight from police caused more than $2,500 worth of damage to landscaping.
