Narragansett Man Cited for License Violation

Brent R. Williams, 34, of 20 Tupelo Trail, Narragansett, was cited for driving with a suspended license at about 4:45 p.m. on March 11.

According to police, an officer traveling behind a tan Ford Taurus on Ocean Road noted it swerving. A check of the registration revealed that the plate came back to a black Chevrolet, not a Ford.

A traffic stop was made near Windemere Road as a result. Police said the driver – Williams – provided them with a temporary registration for the car, which had expired on Jan. 6.

Police said a check of Williams’ license revealed that it was suspended in October 2012 for traffic fines. He was cited for the license violation, and for operating an unregistered vehicle. The car was towed from the scene.
