WESTFIELD – A city scofflaw appeared in Westfield District Court yesterday to answer charges filed in five separate cases brought by city police.
The charges in four of those cases included operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license. In three of the cases, she was alleged to have been operating a motor vehicle without active registration.
Kimberly A. Enriquez, 41, of 38 Hampden St., appeared before Judge Philip Contant in response to the charges which date back to July 26, 2011, when she was stopped by Officer Joseph Stoyak while allegedly operating a motor vehicle with suspended registration while her license to operate was suspended.
She was subsequently stopped by city officers three more times prior to April 2012, and each time she was charged with operating a motor vehicle with suspended license.
Yesterday, she pleaded guilty to a charge of suspended operation of a motor vehicle brought by Officer Michael W. Bradley in April 2012. She was fined $300 and assessed an additional $50. She was found responsible for charges of operating an unregistered vehicle and failure to stop or yield which Bradley also filed.
In response to the other three charges of suspended operation, for infractions in July and December 2011, and February 2012, she was allowed to submit to facts sufficient to warrant guilty findings. In each case, she was placed on probation for one year and assessed $50.
Enriquez also submitted to sufficient facts in two of the cases to charges of operating a motor vehicle with suspended registration and, in both cases, she was placed on probation for one year. In one of those cases, Contant ordered that she not operate a motor vehicle without a valid license.
She was found to be responsible for a similar charge, operating an unregistered motor vehicle, but no penalty was assigned for that charge.
In one of the cases adjudicated yesterday, Enriquez was charged with a crime that did not involve a motor vehicle.
Officer Richard Mazza reports that in January 2012, he investigated the theft of a wallet which had accidently been left on a counter at the Noble Hospital emergency department.
Mazza reports that Enriquez was found to be in possession of an ATM card that had been in the wallet that was subsequently found in a trash container.
In a document filed in support to a criminal complaint application, Mazza stated Enriquez “admitted to stealing the wallet and throwing it in the trash can after removing the ATM debit card.”
Enriquez pleaded guilty to that crime and was place on probation for one year. She was assessed $50.
