Possession of drugs. A 30-year-old Daytona Beach man was arrested after police noticed his motorcycle's license plate registration's expiration date was in 2028.
The officer, knowing that plates can only be registered for two years, gave the license plate number to dispatch, who advised it was expired. He then pulled the man over, at which point the officer watched as the man discarded a plastic baggie containing white powder into a storm drain, according to the police report.
The man didn't immediately stop, appearing as if trying to flee, so once stopped, police secured him in handcuffs. The plastic baggie was located, and it tested positive for fentanyl.
Police asked him about his license plate, and the man said that it belonged to a neighbor and that he put it on his motorcycle so he could ride it. When asked about throwing the drugs into the storm drain, the man denied doing so and called the officer a liar.
He was taken to jail.
