She told a state trooper she was late for a flight. The arrest made her miss it.

But missing things comes naturally to Lisa Ocampo, a 32-year-old Maricopa woman whose record shows she’s made a habit of blowing off court dates and traffic laws alike.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety identified Ocampo this afternoon as the driver arrested after being clocked at 92 mph on State Route 347, adding another line to a record already filled with DUIs, speeding cases and suspended licenses.

Ocampo was arrested Wednesday about 4 miles north of Maricopa, near Casa Blanca Road, after a trooper said her white Toyota Tacoma was traveling nearly 30 mph over the limit in a 65-mph zone. She reportedly told the trooper she was rushing to catch a flight.

DPS spokesperson Bart Graves said Ocampo faces fresh charges of criminal speeding, reckless driving and two counts of driving with a suspended license.

Court records show Ocampo, a resident of the Tortosa neighborhood who recently relocated from Oceanside, Calif., regularly fails to appear in court on an ever-swelling panoply of traffic charges.

Ocampo failed to appear on speeding charges in Casa Grande Municipal Court in October 2024. A month later, she no showed to a Maricopa Municipal Court hearing for speeding, and this August, she failed to appear again in Casa Grande on charges of driving without a license, no registration and speeding. Earlier this year, she pleaded guilty to DUI following a triple-count drunk-driving arrest in April.

She even pleaded guilty to driving without a license in Yuma in 2022, when she still lived in the Golden State.
