The Orange Police Department handled a traffic stop on Tuesday that resulted in an arrest. Officer Medina reported he was patrolling north Highway 62 early Tuesday at 1:49 AM when he observed a white Chevrolet S10 pull from a private drive onto the highway.
Medina noticed the tail lamps on the vehicle were defective and were not illuminating. The officer made a traffic stop during which he made contact with the driver who identified himself Timothy Coleman. Medina recognized him from previous encounters as Christian Winfrey.
A check showed Coleman had a suspended driver’s license. Medina placed Coleman, age 27, in handcuffs and transported him to the Orange County Jail for driving with an invalid license and a vehicle with defective equipment.
