A Summerfield man was arrested for fraud after using a dealership tag to drop his son off at school.
An officer stopped 44-year-old Jairo Enrique Saenz in a blue 2007 Honda Fit sedan on South Main Street around 7:10 a.m. Thursday, according to an arrest report from the Wildwood Police Department. A check of his vehicle’s tag determined it was assigned to Quality Auto Group LLC, not to any specific vehicle. There was also no insurance on file for the vehicle.
Prior to the stop, the officer pulled alongside the vehicle and saw a juvenile with a backpack in the passenger seat. He believed Saenz was dropping the juvenile off at school early that morning. This was when most dealerships were closed, making the officer suspicious that the dealer tag was being used for personal reasons rather than dealership business, the report said.
When later asked for his driver’s license, registration and proof of insurance, Saenz was hesitant and slightly argumentative. He eventually handed it over and admitted that he knew he was driving with a dealer tag. He added that he drove the vehicle home and used it to take his son to school, allegedly while on the way to the dealership, the report said…
