A check revealed that Jorge’s driver’s license has been revoked due to a New York conviction for driving under the influence. He has an allowance to drive a vehicle with an interlock device, however, he admitted he was driving his wife’s car which does not have an interlock device. In addition, Jorge was arrested last year in the same area of The Villages on a charge of driving while license suspended.

Jorge, who is currently living at Lakeside Landings, was arrested on a charge of driving while license suspended. He was also ticketed for speeding. He was booked at the Sumter County Detention Center and released after posting $500 bond.
