Speeding, lying didn’t pay
A man pulled over by Westbrook police on March 19 for driving 51 miles per hour on Main Street said he didn’t have any ID, so he gave the officer a bogus name, according to a police posting on Facebook.
As it turns out, the person belonging to the bogus name had an outstanding warrant, so the driver was arrested, according to police.
The suspect then admitted he had given a false name, but he actually had a revoked driver’s license and was on probation. He was still jailed.
