WINONA, Minn. – Ashley Ann Johnson has a special dread of flashing red and blue lights in her rearview mirror. For the 14th time in two years the Rollingstone woman, age 30, has been stopped driving with an expired license. This time was about 9:20 p.m. near Broadway and High Forest streets on the Far East End. They took her to jail as a habitual violator. Why does she keep doing it? She explained she’s so mjch in debt for tickets, penalties and fees that she’ll never see her way clear — but she still has places to go. “So what’s to lose?”
Johnson. Back in town behind the wheel from 10 miles out in Rollingstone.
