KNOX BOROUGH, Pa. (EYT) — A Parker man is facing a hearing on Tuesday for driving a vehicle with a fraudulent inspection sticker.
Court documents indicate 26-year-old Blayne Harrison McGuirk is scheduled to stand for a preliminary hearing in front of Magisterial District Judge Jarah Lee Heeter at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, June 30.
He faces the following charges:
– Fraud Alter/Forge/Counterfeit Title Registration Insurance, Misdemeanor 1
– Operate Vehicle Without Valid Inspection, Summary
The charges stem from an incident in Knox Borough in February.
According to a criminal complaint, around 3:44 p.m. on February 26, Chief Jason Bowen, of the Knox Borough Police Department, observed a 2005 Buick sedan traveling on South Main Street with an expired inspection sticker with a date of December 2019.
Chief Bowen initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle and spoke with the driver, identified as Blayne McGuirk.
McGuirk reportedly stated he was aware the inspection sticker was expired, the complaint states.
A further review of the sticker found it was a fraudulent inspection sticker, with the month on the front of the sticker altered, and the back of the inspection sticker written over with a sharpie, according to the complaint.
The charges were filed against McGuirk through Magisterial District Judge Jarah Lee Heeter’s office on April 15.
