The Green Bay Police Department is asking the public for their assistance in the search for Stephanie Ray, 35, Green Bay, who is suspected of fleeing a traffic stop and causing injury to an officer, reportedly dragging the officer for a short distance with the vehicle that she was driving.
The incident occurred on Thursday, April 13, 2023, just after 11:30 p.m. near the intersection of West Walnut Street and South Chestnut Avenue. The officer had stopped the driver because the displayed registration plates did not match the vehicle.
Ray allegedly became combative during the stop refusing to exit the vehicle and provide identification. While the officer was attempting to remove Ray from the vehicle with the assistance of 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.
This investigation is ongoing. No additional details will be shared at this time.
