A woman who allegedly refused to identify herself during a traffic stop on I-69 ended up in the Greene County Jail Tuesday afternoon.

Ashton Mylin Maples, 20, Bloomington, was arrested Tuesday, October 29, by Indiana State Police Master Trooper John Yung on I-69.

Trooper Yung was on patrol on I-69 around 12:50 p.m. when he saw a silver 2006 Saturn Vue that appeared to be going over the 70 mph speed limit. It was in the left lane, passing other vehicles and Trooper Yung clocked it at 85 mph.

During the traffic stop, the driver, later identified as Maples, disputed the speed, said she wasn’t going over 70 and refused to show her identification documents to the trooper. She was warned that refusing to identify herself is a misdemeanor and she could be arrested. She continued to refuse and the trooper called for backup.

ISP Trooper Randall VanArsdale and Motor Carrier Inspectors Patrick Riggleman and Cogan McClain all arrived to assist.

Maples allegedly refused to identify herself, refused to shut the vehicle off and refused to get out of the car. She was removed from the vehicle, but allegedly physically resisted by trying to pull away, struggling against the trooper and yelling.

Maples was transported and booked in to the Greene County Jail where her bond was set at $2,000 surety with ten percent cash allowed. She posted $200 and was released.

During the required search of the vehicle prior to towing, a bottle containing green plant material believed to be marijuana was located in the glovebox.

Maples is scheduled to appear in Greene Superior Court next week to be charged with:

• Refusal to identify self, a Class C misdemeanor,

• Resisting law enforcement – knowingly or intentionally forcibly resists, a Class A misdemeanor, and

• Possession of marijuana, a Class B misdemeanor.
