Missed stop sign not the only miss

While on patrol around 1:45 a.m., a police officer followed a black Saturn Ion after he saw it run a stop sign at the intersection of 191st Street and Crescent Drive, police said. As he caught up with the car, he ran a check on the license plate and found it had expired in July.
