The Shrewsbury Police Department reported multiple arrests following a series of traffic stops last week. Last Monday, officers arrested a 60-year-old St. Louis woman during a stop for a vehicle with no license plates. According to the city's release, the driver did not have a valid license or insurance and attempted to avoid arrest by claiming medical issues. After being evaluated at a hospital, where she declined treatment, the woman was booked on traffic-related charges and outstanding warrants.
Last Wednesday, a 53-year-old man from Jennings was arrested during a traffic stop for expired license plates. The Shrewsbury Police Department report noted that, despite citing medical conditions, he declined medical attention and was booked on traffic charges along with multiple outstanding warrants.
