A Leesburg man was arrested for driving while his license was revoked, including several active suspensions and revocations.
A deputy observed 50-year-old Michael Jay Whitton driving southbound on West Burleigh Boulevard at about 10:11 a.m. Friday, according to an arrest report from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.

Whitton was charged with driving while license revoked for DUI (3rd subsequent violation). He was transported to the Lake County Jail and released after posting $10,000 bond.
