Traffic stop leads to arrest
A 44-year-old Belleville man was arrested following an early morning traffic stop over the weekend. Shortly after 3 a.m., an officer on patrol on Moira Street West, spotted a male who was known to be a suspended driver.

It was soon revealed the passenger was on conditions to remain in his house between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 p.m. The male passenger was arrested and charged with failing to comply with a probation order and failing to comply with a release order. The passenger was held for a bail hearing.
