JAMESTOWN, NY — A Jamestown woman was arrested on February 5, 2025, after officers discovered she was in violation of a stay away order of protection during a routine traffic stop on the city’s North Side.
At approximately 4:29 PM, officers from the Second Platoon were patrolling the area when they observed a traffic violation. Upon pulling over the vehicle, they found two individuals inside. The passenger, identified as 31-year-old Brittany A. Smith of Jamestown, was found to have a valid stay away order of protection against the driver.
