Syracuse, NY -- An East Syracuse woman called state police in June to complain that her twin sister used the East Syracuse woman's identity at an April traffic stop in Syracuse.

Christine Vaccarro said it was not the first time her sister, Anna I. Demko, 34, of 417 Wilkinson St., has used her sister’s name to try to avoid a ticket.

The last time was April 29 when Demko was stopped for using a cell phone while driving and for not wearing a seatbelt, troopers said. When she was stopped, Demko provided police with Vaccaro’s name and identifying information, troopers said.

Troopers charged Demko Friday with criminal impersonation, a misdemeanor. Demko previously had used Vaccaro’s identification for traffic stops in Syracuse and Geddes, troopers said.
