A Leesburg woman was arrested for driving with a suspended license after refusing to pull over for a traffic stop until she made it home.
An officer observed a black Chevrolet Malibu in the area of Newell Hill Road and U.S. Hwy. 441 around 6 a.m. Wednesday, according to an arrest report from the Leesburg Police Department. A check of the tag showed the registered owner, 44-year-old Kelly Schnicka Trower, was suspended.
Further investigation revealed her license had been suspended indefinitely for failure to pay a traffic fine on Aug. 5, 2025, suspended indefinitely for failure to pay a traffic fine on Dec. 1, 2025, a judgement suspension on Sept. 8, 2025, and a non-judgement suspension on Sept. 24, 2025. Her history showed to seize the tag if the driver was Trower. The officer also knew her vehicle had fled from a separate traffic stop on Jan. 16 at around the same time, the report said.
Due to this, the officer initiated a traffic stop on Trower who made two rights turns with no signs of slowing or stopping. She continued down Main Street, passing several houses that she would have been able to pull into to get off the road. She turned again and did not stop until she made it to her own house on Faulkner Avenue, the report said…
