New Lenox Cops Collar Wanted Women
A couple of wanted women were picked up by the New Lenox police.
The New Lenox cops nabbed a couple wanted women as they drove through town.
First, the police pulled over Lecean Mercer, 30, of 9936 S. State St. a little past noon Thursday near the corner of Gougar Road and Haven Avenue. An officer reportedly stopped her after noticing her registration was expired. And things got worse for Mercer from there.
