Mother of three was unable to pay an ambulance bill from 2014, so police kidnapped her and threw her in a cage.

March 04, 2019 "Information Clearing House" - La Porte, IN — A traffic stop for a missing sticker on her car led to a single Indiana mom’s arrest last month—after police discovered this mom was a “criminal” because she was unable to pay her medical bills.
Melissa Welch-Latronica didn’t know why police stopped her last month as she was not breaking any laws. The officer told her that she failed to put the 2019 sticker on her license plate, so he needed to see her driver’s license and registration.
As she waited for her citation over a license plate sticker—which was in her car—another cop pulled up.
“I have no felonies or anything on my record,” she recalled. “I didn’t know what was going on.”
Police then informed the single mother of three that she was going to be arrested because she had an unpaid ambulance bill from 2014 and failed to appear in court over it. Latronica had no idea how this could get her arrested and begged police to let her come to the station later as she was on her way to an extremely important meeting.
“I was cuffed behind my van, my vehicle was impounded, and I pleaded to them just let me turn in this paperwork, so I didn’t lose my home,” she said.
“Sorry ma’am,” the officer replied.
