The vehicle, lacking headlights and taillights, was following dangerously close to the car in front of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon conducting a traffic stop, the deputy discovered the driver, 41-year-old Timothy Hillis of Lake Wales, was operating the vehicle with a suspended license, no registration, and no insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further investigation revealed Hillis was in possession of methamphetamine and had a history of driving offenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deputies say his license had been suspended since 2018 due to multiple infractions, culminating in nine prior convictions for driving with a suspended or revoked license. Hillis was subsequently arrested and transported to Polk County Jail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
