SEATTLE (AP) — A routine traffic stop for expired tabs led police to arrest a former Seattle school employee who failed to appear in court for charges of stealing from Seattle Public Schools.
KUOW reports that (http://bit.ly/rMBhkz ) Silas Potter Jr. was arrested in Tampa, Fla., on Tuesday after a sheriff’s deputy spotted the expired tabs. Once the officer ran Potter’s name, the outstanding warrant popped up. The officer also found that Potter was driving with a suspended license.
Potter is now in jail without bond. His first court appearance was by video in Hillsborough County Court.
Potter headed the school district’s small-business assistance program before moving to Florida. He had been scheduled to enter a plea to theft charges in King County Superior Court on Tuesday
