Flushing Man Busted Again with Fake IDs in Rye Parking Blunder

RYE, NY (October 28, 2025) — The City of Rye Police Department arrested Ming Wu, 60, of Flushing, New York, on multiple fraud-related charges.

The charges are Criminal Possession of a Forged Instrument 3rd Degree, a Class A Misdemeanor, and Unlawful Possession of Personal Identification Information 3rd Degree, a Class A Misdemeanor.

A Rye Police Officer observed Ming Wu, who is known to the department from his previous arrest on October 13, 2025, enter a vehicle parked in the permit parking spaces in Station Plaza. Wu attempted several times to back up out of the parking space unsuccessfully. Each time he would back up at an angle and have to pull forward to avoid striking the vehicle parked next to him. A traffic stop was initiated and Wu was asked for his license and registration. As in the case of his first arrest Wu stated he did not have a license or identification. His vehicle a 2024 Volvo S60 was inventoried prior to being impounded.

During the inventory several New York State, Texas, and New Jersey Driver’s licenses were discovered which did not belong to Wu. A search incident to arrest of Wu revealed in his back pocket was a wallet containing a New York State driver’s license belonging to a male out of Flushing, NY that was not Wu. Wu was placed under arrest and transported to Rye Police Headquarters.

Wu was processed and then released with a desk appearance ticket dated for him to return to Rye City Court on Tuesday November 18, 2025 at 9:00 AM to answer to his charges.
