An unlicensed driver from Mexico was arrested again when he was caught behind the wheel.
Nicolas Hernandez Ruiz, 46, of Dade City, was driving a white Chrysler Town and Country van at about 5:30 a.m. Thursday on U.S. 301 in Bushnell when a Sumter County sheriff’s deputy noticed that the van’s taglight was not properly illuminating the license plate.
During a traffic stop, Hernandez Ruiz indicated he only speaks Spanish and admitted he does not have a driver’s license.
A computer check revealed he had been convicted in 2021 in Palm Beach County of driving without a license.
He was arrested on a charge of driving without a license and booked at the Sumter County Detention Center. He was released after posting $500 bond.
