Winstead, (31, Urbana,) who’s driving status is habitual traffic violator,” Johnson said in the affidavit. “Based upon Deputy Galligan’s personal knowledge of the vehicle, registered owner’s driving status as well as the sudden turn into the alley as the vehicle was approaching my commission from behind, I circled around the block attempting to locate the car.”
