WATERTOWN, N.Y. — New York State Police in Watertown on Nov. 30 arrested a Jefferson County woman for using a fake occupation license and for providing false information when applying for a job.

Trudy A. Latimer, age 49 of Felts Mills, was charged with 2nd degree possession of a forged instrument and 1st degree offering false instrument for filing — both felonies.

The arrest stemmed from a complaint that Latimer was operating as a hearing-aid dispenser trainee, in the town of LeRay, under a forged license, which did not exist with the New York Department of State Licensing Services. Latimer also allegedly provided false information when completing an application for employment by saying she has not been convicted of a crime. Latimer knew the information to be false as she has two prior felony convictions, the State Police said in a Dec.1 release.

Latimer was arraigned in the City of Watertown Court and remanded to the Jefferson County Jail on no bail due to two previous felony convictions.
