On July 26, 2026, New York State Police arrested Cory C. Thompson, age 37, of Rochester, NY, following a traffic stop in the city of Rochester.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At approximately 2:05 p.m., a trooper stopped a 2007Acura RDX after observing the vehicle bearing New York registration that was registered to a Hyundai Elantra. During the investigation, troopers determined the vehicle was unregistered, uninsured, uninspected, and displayed a switched plate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The operator provided what appeared to be a New York State driver’s license. Upon further examination, troopers observed several inconsistencies indicating the license was fictitious. A DMV inquiry confirmed the license number did not exist. A subsequent records check identified the operator’s actual New York driver’s license, which had been revoked. During an inventory of the operator’s belongings, troopers located a second fictitious New York State driver’s license.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thompson was charged with:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Criminal Possession of a Forged Instrument 3rd degree (A misdemeanor)Multiple Vehicle and Traffic Law Violations\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thompson was processed at SP Rochester, issued an appearance ticket returnable to Rochester Criminal Court on August 14, 2026, and released.<\/p>\n
The two fictitious New York driver’s licenses were seized as evidence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
