Breach of Probation
Around 8 p.m. Tuesday, Belleville Police on general patrol conducted a traffic stop in the city’s east end after an Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) hit showed an expired plate attached to a vehicle.
During the traffic stop, officers spoke with the male driver and the male passenger.
Through investigation, officers learned that the driver was in breach of his probation order by being in communication with the passenger. Officers also observed open containers of alcohol in the front seat of the vehicle.
As a result, a 22-year-old Belleville man was arrested and charged with:
