Cops: He Drove 52 mph on Hoyt Street at 9:45 p.m.

Darien police charged a 32-year-old man with speeding, drug possession, criminal impersonation and operating with a suspended driver's license, among other charges.

Darien police say they clocked a 32-year-old driver speeding down Hoyt Street at 52 mph Wednesday evening, then found three Oxycontin pills on him.

The man also falsely identified himself to police because his own driver's license is suspended and his vehicle, a 2003 BMW 325IA, wasn't registered, police said.

The driver identified himself as Blerim Vzivoli, but the police officer noticed the name on an insurance document was Parim Vrzivoli. Parim then admitted that he had given the officer the name of a cousin because his own license had been suspended.

Vrzivoli was then arrested, and when police searched him they found three Oxycontin pills in one of his pants pockets.

Vrzivoli was charged with possession of narcotics, criminal impersonation, interfering with an officer, speeding, operating with a suspended license and operating an unregistered motor vehicle.

He posted a $500 bond and is scheduled to appear Oct. 9 in state Superior Court in Stamford.
