The driver told Officer Kevin Pinches she didn’t have her driver’s license with her following the Franklin Avenue stop, Police Chief Benjamin Fox said.

She also gave him a fake name and Social Security number, Fox said.

Police quickly identified her, then signed juveniles complaints driving without a license, possession of marijuana, possession of narcotics paraphernalia, possession of drugs in a motor vehicle and hindering.

She was released to a parent pending a hearing in the Family Part of Superior Court.
