Melania Reyes Montero, 58, of Leesburg, was driving the black vehicle at 8:20 a.m. Sunday northbound on U.S. Hwy. 27/441 at Griffin View Drive when an officer ran the license plate and discovered the vehicle’s registered owner had a driver’s license which had been suspended in February, according to an arrest report from the Lady Lake Police Department.
