According to Kingston Police, a local woman switched seats in her car before being stopped by police because she was allegedly driving with a suspended licence.

Police say the 28-year-old was driving on Compton Street on Saturday evening when an officer ran a records check on her plates, and the officer noticed the woman was under two current driving suspensions.

Police say the accused parked in front of a building on Compton Street, and when the officer walked up to the car, he found the driver’s seat empty and the woman sitting in the back seat.
