Two people were arrested after a K-9 alerted on their vehicle during a traffic stop at Home Depot in Lady Lake.
Jonathan Barron Tunstall, 38, of Eustis, was driving a silver Volkswagen Jetta on Wednesday afternoon when an officer ran his license plate and discovered his driver’s license had been suspended last year for failure to pay a financial obligation, according to an arrest report from the Lady Lake Police Department. A traffic stop was initiated in the Home Depot parking lot.
The Pennsylvania native, who was arrested in 2020 in a shoplifting incident at Belk in The Villages, was taken into custody on a charge of driving while license suspended. He was booked at the Lake County Jail and released after posting $1,000 bond.
A K-9 unit was summoned to the scene and the dog alerted on the vehicle, signaling the likely presence of drugs. A passenger in the car, 28-year-old Sarah Lynn Ogden, also of Eustis, was found to be in possession of one gram of methamphetamine. She was arrested on a felony charge of possession of methamphetamine. She was booked at the jail and released after posting $2,000 bond.
