An unlicensed driver from Mexico man was arrested after being stopped at Sunoco.
A deputy spotted a red 2017 Ford Focus traveling eastbound on State Road 44 in Wildwood around 6:40 a.m. Monday, according to an arrest report from the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office. A check of the tag revealed the registered owner, 35-year-old Cesar Valencia Fernandez of Zephyrhills, did not have a driver’s license or an ID.
Seeing this, the deputy stopped him at Sunoco, located at 900 S Main St. He admitted he did not have a license and instead handed over a Mexico ID. A check of his information through dispatch confirmed he did not have a license or U.S. ID, the report said.
Valencia Fernandez was subsequently arrested on charge of operate motor vehicle without valid license. The native of Mexico was transported to the Sumter County Detention Center and released after posting $500 bond.
