Darrell Paul Carr

A Lady Lake man was arrested by Fruitland Park police for driving on a license suspended for non-payment of traffic fines.

Darrell Paul Carr, 58, who lives at 215 Gibson St., had been traveling Friday night on U.S. Hwy. 27/441 when a police officer ran his license plate number and discovered the registered owner of the vehicle had a suspended driver’s license. The check also revealed Carr had six prior convictions for driving while license suspended.

He had been sent a notice in April that his license was suspended for failure to pay traffic fines.

Carr is also on probation for an earlier conviction on a charge of possession of cocaine. He was taken into custody and booked without bond at the Lake County Jail.
