Logan County Sheriff’s Deputy Quintin Wright was patrolling US 68 (Bowling Green Road) when he saw a vehicle with expired registration plates. A traffic stop was conducted on the vehicle.
The operator of the vehicle, 28-year-old Astin McQueen of Bowling Green, Ky., was found to have a revoked operator’s license out of Tennessee. A computer check confirmed his operator’s license was revoked.
