Angel Thompson, 29, was stopped at Danbury Road/Westport Road for failing to display a front license plate on her vehicle, according to police.
After officers spoke with her, they allegedly detected an odor of marijuana coming from her vehicle, police said. A search of the vehicle was done, and a small amount of marijuana was found, according to police. No other contraband was located inside the vehicle, said police.
During the traffic stop, it was found that Thompson allegedly lied to officers about who she was and that she had an active arrest warrant from a 2010 incident in Bridgeport, said police.
Due to previously failing to appear, Thompson was taken into custody and processed, according to police.
The charges in Monday's incident include criminal impersonation, interference with an officer, possession of marijuana and failure to display a license plate, police said.
A subsequent charge of second-degree failure to appear stems from an alleged original charge of disorderly charge, according to police.
