Any tag will not do
11:21 p.m. — South Yonge Street and Palm Place.
Traffic Stop.
The officer checked the tag on a Honda at a traffic light and found that it was registered to a Suburu. After making a traffic stop, the driver said she knew she was “riding on a bad tag.”
She said she just purchased the vehicle from a male in Palm Coast, and he told her he could put the tag on the vehicle.
Due to the vehicle not being registered, the officer advised the driver that she would have to have it towed. She could not agree on a price with the tow truck driver that arrived, and a neighbor offered to let the suspect leave the vehicle at their residence until she can have it towed.
The suspect received a citation for attaching a tag not assigned.
