The vehicle's paperwork was not, in fact, taken care of, and Monahan was charged with the following offenses:

Failure to display plates
Misuse of marker plates
Failure to insure motor vehicle
Operating motor vehicle under suspension
Unregistered motor vehicle

Monahan was released after she posted 10% of her $1,000 bond. She is due in court on Tuesday, August 15.
