NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. (November 24, 2025) — Rob P. Rubicco, whose company was the name sponsor for the 61st Annual New Rochelle Thanksgiving Day Parade held Saturday, was arrested driving on a suspended livery in an unregistered vehicle belonging to his wife.
Rubicco, then 27, was pulled over at 12:41 p.m. on Friday, June 17, 2011, on Cedar Street near Commerce Street when a New Rochelle police license-plate reader flagged his wife’s blue 2007 Toyota for a suspended registration.
A records check confirmed the vehicle, registered to Christina Iannaccio — Rubicco’s wife, who commonly uses the surname Rubicco — had its registration suspended since Feb. 7, 2011, for an insurance lapse. Rubicco’s New York driver’s license, was also suspended with six suspensions on five separate dates for unpaid summonses, police said.
No proof of insurance was found in the car.
Rubicco, a Bronx resident listed as a sous chef at John George, 25 E. 77th St., New York, was charged with aggravated unlicensed operation in the second degree under Vehicle and Traffic Law Section 511-2(a)(4), an unclassified misdemeanor; operating without insurance under VTL 319-1(u); and operating an unregistered vehicle under VTL 401-1(a).
Rubicco was arrested, transported to police headquarters, and processed. He was read his Miranda rights at 12:57 p.m., fingerprinted, photographed and held pending arraignment in New Rochelle City Court.
The Toyota was impounded by Safeway Towing. Rubicco’s suspended license along with the vehicle’s suspended plates were confiscated.
Three uniform traffic tickets were issued for the unlicensed operation charge, for the insurance violation and for the registration issue. Rubicco was released on bail or recognizance pending court.
Rob Rubicco and his wife, Christina, are co-owners of Anna & Jack’s Treehouse, an early childhood education and play center with locations across Westchester County. They were the featured sponsor of the 2025 Thanksgiving Parade organized by the New Rochelle Chamber of Commerce and held two days ago.
