A regular late-night traffic stop turned into something more after Officer Del of Fox Lake Police stopped a vehicle driving with its lights off. The driver, who was identified as a woman from Chicago, was arrested for allegedly driving without a valid driver’s license and also sharing wrong identifying information during the investigation.

According to body-camera footage shared by Crime Time Cam on its YouTube channel, the incident took place on May 26, 2025, when a police officer probed a woman regarding driving with headlights turned off and also noted that the vehicle’s license plates had also expired. During the stop, the officer asked the woman to present her driver’s license and insurance proof. In response, she claimed she did not have either document with her, explaining that both were at her home in Chicago.

The woman shared information about her driver’s license, which did not match with any of the official records and turned out that it was a wrong information. As investigation continued, she provided differing accounts about her licensing history and initially shared a birth date that yielded no results in the official databases. The inconsistencies led officers to further examine the information provided by her.

The woman later said that she had issues obtaining a driver’s license and later confessed to having used a fake ID in the past. Officer Del directly questioned her, “So you had a fake ID, and you used the birthday from your fake ID?”

The police official stated that the confusion caused by the wrong information prompted him to verify everything she said. “You do you understand why I’m asking? Cuz you lied to me about your birthday. Yeah. Yeah. So, I got to figure out what’s actually true and what isn’t,” Officer Del told her.

The woman also falsely claimed to have a Florida driver’s license — which returned no record. Records showed she had only ever held an Illinois learner’s permit — never a valid license.

As part of the investigation, she revealed that she had come all the way from Chicago after visiting her family in the Fox Lake area. She admitted that she had no driver’s license despite driving and owning a car for the past “four years.”

When inquired about why she was driving, the defendant stated, “I wasn’t going to drive that far, to be honest.” Nevertheless, the official challenged her assertions, noting that she had already left the location where she could’ve stayed overnight rather than continue driving.

She canceled out that option as well, insisting, “Well, my uncle is, you know, he does he smokes and everything, so I don’t want to be sleeping there.” Additionally, while searching the car, the police officials discovered weed in the glove box, but the woman claimed that it did not belong to her and suggested that it may have belonged to her mother. “I don’t think that’s mine. Maybe my mom left it in there. She does smoke. I don’t smoke though,” she said.

After repeated lies, the woman was eventually arrested and charged with driving without a license and obstructing identification.
