Officers conducted a DMV check, which revealed that Wilmar Ospina, 35, of Bedford had a valid Rhode Island driver’s license but had two suspensions in New York State. Iganacia Peralta, 45, of Bridgeport, Conn., had a valid Connecticut license, but also had two New York suspensions.

Ospina and Iganacia were also charged with peddling without a license. Both men were released on $250 and are scheduled to reappear in town court on Oct. 3.
