This past Monday, August 5, at about 10:05 p.m., a motor vehicle stop in Worcester led to the arrest of a Worcester man for operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license and possession of narcotics.
Trooper Matthew Foley assigned to the State Police- Millbury Barracks was on patrol on Route 146 North near the intersection of Quinsigamond Avenue when he observed a 2009 Subaru Impreza traveling northbound. A random query of the vehicle revealed the registered owner, JASON REYES, 39, of Worcester, had a suspended license for failure to pay child support. Trooper Foley stopped the vehicle and spoke to the operator who was identified as REYES and subsequently placed under arrest.
