Driving with Suspended License and Possession of Marijuana. The officer was on an unrelated call when he saw an SUV pull into the driveway next door. He saw the driver get out and get into the passenger seat. Another person came out of the house and got into the driver’s seat.
The officer recognized the suspect in the passenger seat as someone he had recently assisted who had a suspended driver’s license.
The officer asked the other person why she would let the suspect drive the car without a license, and she said it was because the suspect had a court date.
