Julio Axel Florian, 37, was driving a black Toyota Tundra shortly before 3 p.m. Friday on U.S. 301 near Pepper Tree Lane when an officer ran the vehicle’s license plate and discovered the vehicle’s registered owner has a suspended license, according to an arrest report from the Wildwood Police Department.
