ALFRED — A traffic stop precipitated by a broken taillight and an expired inspection sticker led to the arrest of a suspect allegedly driving on a suspended license.
As well, York County Sheriff William L. King Jr., said Stephen Thuotte, 57, of Waterboro had previously been released on bail conditions and that he was the subject of an active warrant for allegedly failing to appear at court.
The traffic stop by Deputy Kevin Collins took place at around 4 p.m. on Monday, said King.
Thuotte was arrested on the warrant and taken to the York County Jail. He was also charged with operating after suspension and violating conditions of release.
King said Thuotte is not eligible for bail due to the nature of the charges.
