• IMPERSONATION: Kevin S. DiPirro, 37, 6035 S. Transit St., Lot 275, was charged Thursday with third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and second-degree criminal impersonation. Officers responded to John Street for a report of a suspicious car possibly engaged in drug activity and found DiPirro driving a car that matched the vehicle description. DiPirro allegedly told police he was the registered owner of the car and gave a false name. Officers found the car was registered to a person with that name, but that person was female and is DiPirro’s girlfriend, the report said. DiPirro allegedly told police he lied because his driver’s license is suspended, the report said.

• ENDANGERMENT: Jerad S. Forsyth, 22, 315 Beattie Ave., Apt. 3, was charged Thursday evening with two counts of endangering the welfare of a child. A Trowbridge Street man told police Tuesday that his daughter, a juvenile, had spent two nights at Forsyth’s house April 17 and 18. The man said Forsyth allegedly acted inappropriately, walking around without clothes on and laying down and “rubbing” his daughter and another girl. He reportedly turned over copies of his daughter’s diary pages to police. After an investigation, Forsyth was arrested Thursday. He was released on his own recognizance and is due Monday in Lockport City Court.

• HARASSMENT: Aaron C. Clark, 39, 129 Pine St., Apt. 2, was charged Thursday with second-degree harassment and unlawful possession of marijuana. Clark allegedly fought with a Lincolnshire Drive man at a home on Lincoln Avenue. The man said Clark struck him in the side of the face, causing a small cut, scratches and bleeding, the report said. During Clark’s arrest, officers reportedly found him in possession of a small baggie containing marijuana.
