VALLEY STREAM, NY — Police attempted to stop a woman who was driving in Valley Stream on Thursday with an expired New York state inspection sticker, a missing front license plate and an unregistered rear plate, authorities said.

Norville was taken into custody without further incident.

The injured officer was transported to a local hospital for treatment and evaluation.

Norville is charged with two counts of second-degree assault, second-degree criminal
possession of a forged instrument, first-degree reckless endangerment, reckless driving, third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation and third-degree unlawful fleeing a police officer
in a motor vehicle, police said.

She was expected to be arraigned on Friday.
