An officer saw a motorcycle backed into a space in the parking lot of the Wildwood Smoke Shop, located on Main Street near the Wildwood City Hall, around 8:30 p.m. Friday, according to an arrest report from the Wildwood Police Department.

He then started the motorcycle and rode onto Wonders Street. The motorcycle turned right onto U.S. Hwy. 301, which was when the officer saw it did not have a license plate attached to it. The officer stopped the motorcycle in the area of U.S. 301 at Johnson Street and spoke to Cox, the report said.

He was given notice on March 11, 2024, and it took effect on April 1, 2024, the report said…
