A traffic stop by Rye PD in the area of Theodore Fremd Avenue and North Street has led to the arrest of a 54-year-old man wanted on an active felony warrant issued out of Broward County, Florida for Aggravated Battery involving permanent disability.
Christopher J. Pasquale Vigliotti, 54, of Florida, was arrested following a traffic stop on Sunday, October 18, 2026. An Rye police officer was alerted to a vehicle with a suspended New York State registration via an automated license plate reader and subsequently observed additional Vehicle and Traffic Law violations.
During the traffic stop, Vigliotti allegedly provided officers with a false name in an attempt to conceal his true identity. Further investigation revealed Vigliotti’s active felony warrant.
Vigliotti was charged with the following offenses: False Personation – NYS Penal Law § 190.23 and Operating a Motor Vehicle with a Suspended Registration – NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law § 512. Vigliotti was also issued several additional Vehicle and Traffic Law summonses.
Vigliotti was arraigned and remanded to the Westchester County Jail pending extradition to Florida. Rye PD reminds you that all defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
