Stephanie Ray PC: Fox 11 Online
GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The woman suspected of dragging a Green Bay police officer with her vehicle as she fled a traffic stop has been taken into custody.
Stephanie Ray, 35, was arrested Thursday at a residence in the 700 block of N. Broadway Street.
Authorities have been searching for Ray since the incident on April 13.
Police say an officer had stopped Ray near the intersection of W. Walnut Street and S. Chestnut Avenue because the displayed registration plates did not match the vehicle.
Ray was combative during the stop and refused to exit the vehicle and provide identification, police say.
While the officer was trying to remove Ray from the vehicle with assistance from another officer, Ray is said to have put the vehicle into drive with the one officer partially inside, causing the officer to be dragged by the door before being thrown from the vehicle and onto the roadway.
The officer was treated and released at a local hospital for minor injuries.
The investigation is ongoing and police say they will be referring charges to the Brown County District Attorney’s Office.
