An unlicensed driver from Guatemala was arrested after she was caught behind the wheel of an automobile.
Aurora Merida Lopez, 25, of Summerfield, was driving a blue Toyota at about 2:30 p.m. Wednesday on U.S. 301 at County Road 466 in Oxford when a check of her license plate revealed the vehicle’s registered owner has never had a driver’s license issued in the United States, according to an arrest report from the Wildwood Police Department.
During a traffic stop, Merida Lopez admitted she has been in the United States for seven years and has never obtained a driver’s license. She was identified by her Guatemala identification card.
She was arrested on a charge of operating a motor vehicle without a license. She was booked at the Sumter County Detention Center and released after posting $500 bond.
