Locker Room Roamer

Paperless Driver

Sept. 19 — 9:52 p.m.

While on patrol, an officer stopped a silver Mercedes because it did not have insurance. The officer asked the driver for his ID, proof of insurance and vehicle registration.

The officer asked if he had any drugs or paraphernalia in the vehicle, and he admitted that he had a marijuana pipe in his vehicle. The officer cited him for driving on a suspended license and cleared the scene.
