COLCHESTER — Sheriff Craig S. DuMond announced the arrest of a Washington, DC resident for driving with a suspended New York State driver’s license. 

On Friday night, February 6th, 2026, Sheriff’s Deputies observed a vehicle with an obstructed plate traveling eastbound on State Highway 17 in the Town of Colchester.  

Upon conducting a traffic stop, Deputies identified the driver of the vehicle as 40-year-old Sean Weppner of Washington, DC. A NYS DMV check of Weppner’s driver’s license revealed that his driving privileges were suspended in the State of New York and further, that the vehicle registration was found to be an expired State of Utah temporary registration.    

Deputies subsequently arrested Weppner and issued him traffic summonses for Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle in the 3rd degree, an unclassified misdemeanor, as well as Unregistered Motor Vehicle and Obstructed Plate, both violations of the NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law. 

Weppner was released on an appearance ticket and traffic summonses and is scheduled to appear in the Town of Colchester Court at a later date to answer the charges.
