*A 65-year-old man ended up in jail recently after he allegedly fled a traffic stop by Gainesville Police. A police spokesman says officers did not chase him but later located him at his home. He’s charged with a license plate violation, no proof of insurance, driving with an invalid license, and fleeing and attempting to elude. And a 50-year-old woman is accused of shoplifting about $1,000 worth of power tools on three occasions from Lowe’s on Shallowford Road. Two of the thefts occurred in March and the third earlier this month. She was arrested Tuesday.
