Cadillac woman stopped for speeding, arrested on warrant

A 29 year-old Cadillac woman was stopped for speeding on S West Bay Shore Drive near Carter Road at 12:36 am Wednesday.  She gave Leelanau County deputies a false name because her license was suspended and there was a misdemeanor warrant for her arrest from Grand Traverse County.

The problem for the woman was that the officer had dealings with her in the past and recognized her.  He confronted her about the false name given and she admitted that he was correct.

She was cited for Driving with a Suspended License and was turned over to a Grand Traverse County deputy on their warrant.  The woman will appear in 86th District Court on the driving charge.
