JACKSON COUNTY—Law enforcement are investigating a registerd Kansas offender on new allegations after a traffic stop.
Just before 9:30a.m. October 26, 2026, at approximately 9:24 a.m., a sheriff's deputy initiated a traffic stop on a white Nissan Pathfinder on the U.S. Highway 75 on-ramp from 150th Road, according to Sheriff Tim Morse.
The registered owner of the vehicle, identified as Tori Jo Granado, 35, of Emporia, Kansas, was identified as the front-seat passenger. Prior to the traffic stop, the deputy had identified Granado as a registered offender while conducting proactive law enforcement activities in a parking lot near Mayetta, Kansas.
During the traffic stop, the deputy determined that the vehicle had been purchased on August 31, 2026, and was displaying a temporary registration set to expire on October 30, 2026. However, the vehicle was allegedly not listed as required on Granado’s offender registration.
Granado was arrested on requestd charges that include two counts of alleged violation of offender registration requirements and transported to the Jackson County Jail. She has been a registered drug offender since a conviction in 2023 for heroin distribution, according to the Kansas Offender Registry.
