LAKE BUTLER—Union deputies seized the tag off a woman’s car and arrested her passenger during a Worthington Springs traffic stop on Sept. 4.
Deputy Eli C. Rogers wrote in an arrest report that he followed a blue Toyota while on patrol and reported its tag to dispatch. A communications officer told him the registered owner of the Toyota had an invalid license. After pulling the car over at the Stop Store, the officer verified that the driver’s license was invalid. He seized the tag and told the woman to arrange a ride for herself and her children.
Rogers also ran the driver’s license of a passenger in the Toyota: 33-year-old Juan Carlos Cortes of Lake Butler. Dispatchers told the deputy Cortes had outstanding warrants in Alachua and Gilchrist Counties.
