Officers from the Scarsdale Police Department responded to a Fenimore Road home at approximately 9:50 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 6, where there was a report of a one-vehicle crash involving a driver from out of the area.
Upon arrival, officers found Brooklyn resident Jerome Bennett, 33, outside of his car with his Saturn Due stopped on the front lawn of the Fenimore Road residence.
Police said that Bennett told officers that he was driving westbound on Fenimore Road when he attempted to avoid another vehicle and went off the roadway.
Further investigation into Bennett found that his driving privileges had been suspended in New York a total of 10 times for various offenses, and the license plate on his Saturn was improper and belonged to a different vehicle.
R&D Towing transported the vehicle to the police impound lot, the illegal Texas license plates were removed from his car, and Bennett was issued multiple citations.

- Operating a motor vehicle without a license;
- Having an unregistered motor vehicle;
- Failure to use his designated lane;
- Operating a vehicle with improper plates;
- Operating a motor vehicle without insurance.
Following his citation, Bennett is scheduled to appear in court at a later date to respond to the charges.
