MOIRA – Two people from Ogdensburg and one from Heuvelton were arrested on a variety of charges after what state police called a traffic stop on US Rt. 11 in Moira.

A Ford Focus was stopped at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday.

The operator of the vehicle had provided a false name and date of birth and failed to produce identification at the time of the stop, troopers said. He was later identified as 52-year-old William C.

Barr was charged with false personation, criminal possession of stolen property 5th degree, and aggravated unlicensed operation 3rd degree. He was arraigned in Bangor Town Court and remanded to Franklin County Jail in lieu of $2,000 cash bail or $5,000 bond.

White was turned over to the Ogdensburg City Police Department for her active warrant.
