Baiba Beitan, 27, who doesn't have a valid license, was stopped on Rivervale Road near Oak Drive, Detective Sgt. Peter Martin said.

After handing over the fake license, she was taken to police headquarters in custody, processed and released pending a court hearing, Martin said.

Police charged her with unsworn falsification and gave her summonses for the busted brake light and driving without a license, the sergeant said.
