JACKSON, NJ – A woman pulled over by the Jackson Township Police Department last Monday was found to have had multiple arrest warrants. After being issued multiple traffic tickets, she was then transported to Freehold under an outstanding arrest warrant.

According to the Jackson Police Department, Officer Zachary Schwartz was conducting speed enforcement on Brewers Bridge Road when he observed a vehicle speeding.

“While conducting enforcement, Schwartz observed a 2012 Hyundai Sonata traveling at approximately 48mph in a 35mph zone on Brewers Bridge Rd,” According to Captain Steven Laskiewicz. “Officer Schwartz also observed a black bicycle rack that was obstructing the driver’s rear license plate so much so that the registration could not be made out clearly. The driver was identified even though she was unable to provide a valid insurance card, vehicle registration card or her driver’s license.”

The driver was confirmed as having a suspended license as well as active warrants from Jackson Twp., Wall Twp., and Freehold Twp. The driver was placed under arrest without incident and, after being processed, was turned over to Freehold Twp. for their outstanding warrant. The driver was issued multiple motor vehicle summonses.

The Jackson Police Department did not release the name of the driver.
