    NY man with 95 license suspensions arrested for guns, drugs

    COMMACK, N.Y. (AP) — Police on Long Island say they've arrested a man who has had his driver's license suspended nearly 100 times.

    The Suffolk County Police Department says 47-year-old Jerry Tenzie was arrested Tuesday night at a park and ride in Commack and charged with aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle, possession of marijuana and criminal possession of a weapon.

    Police say officers detected an odor of marijuana emanating from Tenzie's car. A search of the vehicle reportedly turned up an illegal rifle, as well as marijuana.

    Officials say the Copiague man has a total of 95 suspensions on his license from nine different dates. Police didn't say what his suspensions were for.

    It's unclear if Tenzie has an attorney who could comment on the charges.
