NORFOLK – A traffic stop March 18 led to charges for two North Country residents after the driver of a vehicle called 911 and accused a trooper of being a fake cop, according to state police.

Troopers reportedly observed a gray 2004 Ford F-250 on State Highway 56 and a check of the vehicle’s registration revealed it was suspended, prompting officers to initiate a traffic stop.

The driver, Nyrah H. Jefferson-Logan, 33, Fort Covington, and passenger Robert J. Donnelly, 42, Massena, were questioned by police.

During the interaction, Jefferson-Logan accused the trooper of being a fake police officer and called 911 to falsely report that an impersonator had pulled her over.

A St. Lawrence County Sheriff’s Deputy arrived on scene and conducted a free-air sniff with a K9 unit, which alerted to the presence of narcotics. A search of the vehicle uncovered controlled substances and drug paraphernalia, officers said.

Donnelly was charged with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, police said.

Jefferson-Logan was charged with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, third-degree falsely reporting a catastrophe or emergency, and vehicle and traffic violations.

Both individuals were reportedly released on appearance tickets and are scheduled to appear in Norfolk court in April.
