Macon, GA – A routine traffic stop on Mercer University Drive turned into an arrest Wednesday after Bibb County Sheriff’s Office S.R.T. Unit deputies located a woman wanted in two jurisdictions, according to officials.
According to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office, deputies initiated a stop on a Toyota Corolla after noticing the vehicle was traveling with an expired registration. During the stop, deputies determined that the driver was allegedly wanted on warrants from both the Macon County Sheriff’s Office and the Gray Police Department.
Deputies reported that after confirming the warrants, the woman was taken into custody without incident. The sheriff’s office did not release additional details about the nature of the warrants but said the individual was transported to the Jones County Sheriff’s Office Law Enforcement Center for processing.
The photo released by the department shows the S.R.T. Unit’s marked vehicle positioned behind the stopped car in a parking lot. Deputies did not report any injuries, and no other passengers were mentioned in the incident.
Officials emphasized that the stop began as a standard traffic enforcement action before escalating due to the confirmed warrants. Law enforcement agencies across Central Georgia continue to use directed patrols and traffic enforcement to locate individuals wanted in nearby counties, particularly when warrants cross jurisdictions like this case.
Residents who observe unusual activity or have information regarding outstanding warrant cases are encouraged to contact the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office or Macon Regional Crimestoppers.
