Deputy Wilkins stopped a northbound vehicle on Highway 49 after noticing it had no license tag, and two men in the car were placed under arrest without incident, a Facebook post said.
The post did not provide additional details about the circumstances of the stop, the identities of the men or any charges that may have been filed.
Police and sheriff’s deputies commonly stop vehicles that display no license plates to verify registration, ensure the driver is licensed and check for outstanding warrants. Highway 49 is a regional route used by commuters and commercial traffic; officers say traffic stops on such roads are routine public-safety actions.
It was not immediately clear what, if any, charges followed the arrest or where the men were taken for processing. The Facebook post served as the initial notice of the incident and offered no further information. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
