An unlicensed driver from Nicaragua landed in jail after a traffic stop.
Jeffrey Osmani Osegueda Centeno, 26, of Coleman, was driving a gray Ford truck at about 5:30 p.m. Wednesday in the area of Warm Springs Avenue and U.S. 301 when a deputy ran the license plate and discovered the truck’s registered owner does not have a driver’s license, according to an arrest report from the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office.
During a traffic stop, Osegueda Centeno handed the deputy a Nicaraguan identification card. He said he has been living in Florida for 10 months and has been gainfully employed. However, he admitted he has not obtained a Florida driver’s license.
He was arrested on a charge of driving without a license. He was booked at the Sumter County Detention Center and released after posting $150 bond.
