A 22-year-old man was arrested early Saturday on several driving-related charges, according to a police report.
A police officer was alerted to a warrant attached to the suspect’s vehicle and initiated a traffic stop at the 2200 block of South Interstate 35E.
The Denton Police Department warrant was issued because the driver was cited for an expired inspection sticker, and he failed either to pay the fine or show proof of renewing his inspection.
When the officer approached the vehicle, the suspect said he wasn’t carrying his driver’s license or identification, the reporting officer wrote.
The driver was placed under arrest for driver’s license violation, failure to identify as a fugitive from justice and intent to give false information.
