JONESBORO, Ark. – When Jonesboro officer Trayce Williams pulled over a car for running a stop sign Thursday night in the Cedar Heights area of Jonesboro, the driver confused the officer.
The stop began at 11:12 PM Thursday in the area of Johnson and State Street. First, the driver got out and began walking toward the patrol car. The officer told her to stop and get back in the vehicle. Instead, she dropped onto her knees and put her hands on top of her head. As other officers arrived at the unusual stop, the officer spoke to the driver. She said her window didn’t roll down which was why she didn’t comply with orders to stay in the vehicle.
The officer checked the license plate and it came back as stolen out of Jonesboro. After reading the driver her rights, she provided the officers with a name belonging to her sister.
Latondra S. Oneal, 47, of Jonesboro, was taken into custody for Theft by Receiving, No Liability Insurance, Failure to Obey a Stop Sign, and Failure to Register the Vehicle.
Later on Thursday morning, the detention center contacted the officer to advise they had realized the woman had provided a false name. The charges of Non-Financial Identity Fraud and Obstruction of Governmental Operations were added.
