A traffic stop Tuesday night in Red Oak resulted in the driver of a 1999 Mazda being arrested for Driving Under Suspension and failure to file SR-22 Insurance. 26-year old Patrick Neil Jack, of Emerson, was taken into custody at around 8:50-p.m. at the intersection of E. Valley and Broad Streets.  He was being held in the Montgomery County Jail on a $1,000 bond.

He was pulled over because the license plates did not match the vehicle he was driving. Jack informed Red Oak Police officers that he knew he was suspended and did not have a valid driver’s license. In fact, records indicated he had three license withdrawls in effect. Jack stated that he was driving because he need to take his girlfriend to the hospital due to a medical issue.

Police asked the woman if she needed an ambulance, but the woman said she could wait.
