The following arrest information was supplied by the Parsippany Police Department. It does not indicate a conviction.
A traffic stop Thursday morning led to the arrests of two individuals on various traffic offenses.
Octavia Anderson, 32, of Plainfield, and 30-year-old Newark resident Tariq Dixon were arrested after officers spotted them traveling along Route 10 West in a vehicle that appeared to be missing license plates, according to department spokesperson Sgt. Yvonne Christiano.
Police said Officer Jason Lubeck was on patrol at about 8:15 a.m. when he spotted a 1993 Jeep moving at a high rate of speed. After stopping the Jeep, which apparently lacked plates, the officer reportedly noticed an expired temporary registration in the vehicle's rear window.
