Peeking the officer's curiosity, the officer drove to the area of the sounds and observed a vehicle blocking the roadway. As the officer pulled behind the vehicle, it began to drive away. The officer stopped the vehicle and identified the non-UT driver and non-UT passenger of the vehicle. The passenger confirmed she was the person who had screamed as she was yelling at the driver because he did know how to drive a vehicle with a manual transmission. The driver was found to have been driving (well sort of driving) while his license was suspended. The driver also failed to provide any proof of financial responsibility. Once taken into custody, the driver was found to be in possession of “brass knuckles†a glass pipe with burned crystalline formations and a plastic bag containing .017 grams of crystal methamphetamine.
