"I was headed to visit my grandfather who is very ill with cancer in the hospital, and I was pulled over," she said in her statement. "I was wrong for speeding absolutely and apologize for putting anyone at risk. I tried to explain the situation to the officer and show him that all my paperwork was in order, but he refused."
