Pulled over for a defective taillight in the area of a suspected drug house, the driver of the Mercedes Benz showed a Clark County sheriff’s deputy his Washington ID card but had no proof of registration or insurance, investigators said.
Once the driver told deputies that his license was suspended, the traffic infraction turned into an alleged misdemeanor, giving officers the authority to get him out of the car and arrest him.
