(BEDFORD) – Two people were arrested after a Bedford Police officer stopped their vehicle at 15th and L streets after the driver committed a traffic violation Tuesday afternoon.
According to Bedford Police Chief Terry Moore, the driver, 40-year-old Lori Brumage, was very nervous while speaking to officers.
