Officers said the driver had consumed alcohol prior to the traffic stop, however a roadside screening device determined the man was not over the legal limit.

Further investigation revealed he had not held a valid driver’s licence since the early 2000s. Additionally, the vehicle had not been registered in the last five years.

Police issued the man a ticket for driving while suspended and the vehicle was seized for 30 days.
