Driving without a license, window tint — A woman was pulled over into the Georgia State Patrol post parking lot for having dark tinted windows. When asked for her license, she said that she left it in her apartment. She was identified with her dependent military ID. The driver said the car belonged to her boyfriend and that she was at the jail to bond him out. She said her boyfriend had received a ticket for the tinted windows but never corrected them. Hinesville police verified that the boyfriend had received a ticket in June for the window tint. The deputy asked where she had a driver’s license from; she said South Carolina. But upon checking South Carolina, Florida and Georgia, she was not licensed in any of those states. She then said she didn’t have a license and was scared. She had her two daughters in the car and was allowed to drive to the Liberty County Jail from the GSP post, where her older daughter could watch her younger one. The driver was arrested for driving without a license and window tint.
