Felony Charge for Fake ID

Thu, 08/21/2025 - 11:13

A New York City man faces a felony charge after presenting a police officer with a false identification card early on the morning of Aug. 13, in the parking lot of the Montauk 7-Eleven.

John Harris Kinnamon, 20, was discovered asleep behind the wheel of a white Nissan van, with the keys in the ignition and the engine running, and he allegedly displayed multiple signs of intoxication when awakened. He reportedly failed a series of field sobriety tests before refusing to submit to a chemical test.

Officers found a Pennsylvania driver’s license in Mr. Kinnamon’s wallet, which, they said, later proved to be fake. He was charged with possession of a forged instrument in the second degree, a Class D felony, as well as with drunken driving, a first-offense misdemeanor.

He was arraigned in Justice Court later that morning before East Hampton Town Justice Steven Tekulsky, who ordered a pretrial supervised release, with a future date to be back in court.
