Elijah Tretts, 40, of North Collins, was charged with criminal impersonation in the first degree, entering or remaining on premises after hours, and consumption of alcohol in a motor vehicle by Penn Yan Police following a complaint at a local park.
Tretts was a passenger in a vehicle parked at Red Jacket Park after closing. He allegedly provided officers with a fake name, address, and date of birth, and claimed to be a member of the New York State Police. He then allegedly became uncooperative. Police discovered his true identity and that he was not a member of any law enforcement agency.
Tretts was transported to the Yates County Jail to await centralized arraignment.
