A woman who works at a Publix grocery store in The Villages was arrested on Wednesday night for speeding and driving while her license was suspended.
A Fruitland Park police officer had been on patrol running a laser speed detection device on State Road 25 when he clocked a silver Ford pickup truck doing 76 miles per hour in a 45 mph zone. When he caught up to the Ford as it pulled into the Ramshackle Cafe restaurant on North 14th Street in Leesburg. The driver of the Ford, 55 -year-old Deloris Wright gave the officer her Florida driver’s license. A records check showed that her license had been suspended on Monday for nonpayment of a traffic citation.
