A server at a restaurant in The Villages has been arrested for the second time in two weeks.
Javier Mendez Hernandez, 35, of Belleview, was driving a gray 2014 Honda passenger car at 10:38 p.m. Thursday in the parking lot of Tequila Cantina Mexican restaurant at Southern Trace Plaza, when he was spotted by a Sumter County sheriff’s deputy.
The same deputy had arrested Mendez Hernandez on Oct. 31 when he was in the same vehicle and failed to come to a complete stop at a stop sign at County Road 101 and County Road 104.
The native of Mexico does not have a driver’s license issued in the United States. At the time he was arrested Thursday, he was free on bond from the Oct. 31 arrest.
He was taken into custody on a charge of driving without a license. He was booked at the Sumter County Detention Center on $500 bond.
