Officers spotted Janelda Camille, of Medford, at around 2 a.m. Tuesday, April 25, as she drove eastbound on Sunrise Highway near 52 in Patchogue, according to Suffolk County Police.

At the time, she was reportedly speeding in a Honda Civic.

Officers eventually determined that Camille’s license had been suspended 65 times on 12 different occasions.

She was arrested for first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and was issued a speeding summons.

Police did not say why Camille’s license had been suspended so many times.

According to the New York Department of Motor Vehicles, a driver’s license can be suspended for a number of reasons, including driving while intoxicated (DWI), illegally buying alcohol, driving without insurance, and failing to answer a ticket or pay a fine.
