A Queens man was arrested in downtown Rye on Monday when police initially discovered his vehicle’s registration was suspended.
Ming Wu, 60, was driving a 2025 Toyota RAV4 on Purchase Street when he was stopped after a license plate reader alerted the officer that the vehicle had a suspended license plate registration. During the stop, Wu allegedly identified himself using a New York State driver’s license belonging to someone else.
A search of the Toyota uncovered several additional driver’s licenses not belonging to Wu, a spring-assisted knife, and a crystal substance believed to be a controlled substance.

Wu was charged with several offenses, including possessing fake IDs, giving police a false name, and carrying a knife and what appeared to be drugs.
He was processed and released with a desk appearance ticket and is scheduled to appear in Rye City Court on Oct. 28.
