A Stroudsburg woman, Janine Tancredi, pleaded guilty on Friday to reduced charges related to a traffic stop incident last month. According to court records, Tancredi was pulled over for traffic violations and claimed she was a Pennsylvania Game Commission officer responding to an emergency call in Bethlehem.
Tancredi initially faced charges of impersonating a public officer and several vehicle-related traffic charges. However, as part of her plea agreement, the charges were reduced to disorderly conduct and minor traffic violations.
**Background**
The incident occurred on June 28th when Tancredi was stopped by police for speeding. She claimed she was responding to an emergency call in Bethlehem, but investigators later determined that this claim was false. The Pennsylvania Game Commission confirmed that Tancredi is not a commissioned officer with the agency and has no affiliation with them.
Tancredi's plea agreement also reveals that she is a licensed wildlife rehabilitator and veterinary technician.
