DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody Police released a 43-year-old Norcross man Jan. 20 after initially arresting him for driving with a suspended license.
The man, who was delivering packages for Amazon, maintained that his license was restricted, not suspended.
An officer said he initiated a traffic stop on the driver of a red Kia Niro, traveling on East Kings Point Circle at Huntington Circle.
A search of the vehicle’s tag revealed the registered owner had a suspended license, the officer said.
When the officer confirmed the identity of the registered owner, he handcuffed the suspect and placed him in his patrol vehicle.
When the officer double checked the man’s license, he found that the man had a restricted license, which allowed him to drive while working.
The officer said Georgia residents with a first-time DUI can appeal for a limited permit, which he confirmed in the Georgia Crime Information Center.
After seeing the man’s Amazon vest and packages in the rear of the vehicle, the man was released with no charges or citations, the officer said.
