State troopers said they were contacted in December by an Ossining woman who reported that someone had used her identity during a traffic stop that took place last July.

An investigation revealed that Wells had used the victim's name and date of birth during a traffic stop to avoid getting ticketed, police said

Wells was arraigned in the Town of Poughkeepsie Court and sent to the Dutchess County Jail in lieu of $2,000 cash bail or $4,000 bond, police said.

She was scheduled to appear before the Town of Poughkeepsie Court on Thursday, Jan. 14.
