GP Police Cited Motorist for Moving Violations after Bridge Street Traffic Stop

Grants Pass Police cited a motorist for moving violations during a west-city traffic stop early yesterday.

According to the Police Department, officers pulled over a green sedan driven by Kennedy Marsh in the 1100-block of SW Bridge Street on Monday at 12:22 a.m..

Police said they stopped Marsh for expired registration and a strong smell of alcohol was coming from the vehicle. The woman told officers that alcohol had been spilled in her back seat, but no one in the vehicle had been drinking. Two of the three occupants in the car had just completed a shift working at Taco Bell.

Kennedy elected to perform field sobriety tests and no indicators of impairment were observed. However, she was found to be driving with a suspended license and no insurance. She stated that she was suspended after receiving a traffic citation that she could not afford to pay.

Kennedy was cited for Driving While Suspended and No Insurance, warned for Expired Registration and given instructions on steps to take for reinstating her license. She was given a fix-it ticket for the traffic violations.
