The Green Bay Police Department has arrested Stephanie Ray, 35, Green Bay, who was suspected of fleeing a traffic stop nearly a month ago and causing injury to an officer.
The arrest was made on Thursday, May 11, 2023, at a residence in the 700 block of N. Broadway Street.
The traffic stop occurred on Thursday, April 13, 2023, near the intersection of West Walnut Street and South Chestnut Avenue, when an officer noticed the 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.
Green Bay Police will be referring charges to the Brown County District Attorney’s Office.
No additional details will be shared at this time.
We would like to thank the public for their assistance in this case.
