Deputy Johnson observed a second vehicle traveling 55 in a posted 45 construction zone northbound on U.S. 31 near the 13th road intersection. The officer ran the plate, and it showed the registered owner as having a suspended prior record.
The driver was identified as 29-year-old Cicara Moore of Indianapolis. Moore had a driving status of suspended with a prior. She was transported to the County Jail and booked for driving while suspended prior and held on a $500 cash bond.
