Shrewsbury police said that after the vehicle Parent was driving was stopped, officers determined his Massachusetts driver’s license was suspended and that the registration plate on the vehicle had been reported stolen out of Worcester in November 2025 and matched the same year, make, model and color as the car he was operating.
A Vehicle Identification Number, or VIN, check showed the car’s actual Massachusetts registration was revoked due to an insurance issue.
Daniel Parent, 35, of Worcester, was arrested and charged with:
- Receive Stolen Property -$1200 (license plates)
- Uninsured Motor Vehicle
- Operating Motor Vehicle with License Suspended
- Number Plate Violation to Conceal ID
- Speeding
- Unregistered Motor Vehicle
Parent was arraigned in Westborough District Court on Dec. 19, 2025, where he pleaded not guilty and was released on personal recognizance.
Parent’s next court date is a pretrial hearing scheduled for Feb. 26, 2026.
Disclaimer: If you are wondering why the arrest in this story took place in December, that’s because I had to file FOIA request(s) to obtain the court documents. FOIAs are time-consuming.
