A 46-year-old Lady Lake man classified as a habitual traffic offender was arrested Friday morning behind the wheel of a Mercedes-Benz with a stolen license plate.

Eugene Daniel Moore, who lives on Gray’s Airport Road, had been driving at about 8:30 a.m. on U.S. Hwy. 441 in Lady Lake when a Sumter County sheriff’s depute ran the license plate number of the vehicle and found that it had been reported stolen out of Marion County.

Moore said he borrowed the car from a friend because he had no other ride to get to work.

A check revealed Moore had 13 prior convictions for driving while license suspended from 2003-2014 from Lake County, Sumter County, Marion County, and Orange County.

He was also on probation.

He was booked without bond at the Sumter County Detention Center.
