Day Three: Rivera pulled over, gives officer an alias

Rivera left Spider's and headed to go to church to pick up Diaz, and headed down Neilson Street, slowing down as he crossed Arthur and Nelson, to "make sure things were all right there."

Rivera says he didn't completely stop at a Stop sign because there was a problem with the car. Diaz has previously testified there was a problem with the car.

Next, Rivera recalls seeing police lights, and an officer pulling him over on Neilson, past Eagle Street.

As the officer walks to the car, he asks Rivera for license and registration, and Rivera admits he told the officer he had no license, which he didn't, and gave the officer the name of his brother - Ishmael Rivera.

Rivera says he gave the false name because he was scared of a seatbelt ticket he had gotten weeks earlier. He gave the officer registration and insurance from the glove compartment, he says.
