A Summerville man was arrested on Tuesday of this week after he was spotted by a sheriff’s deputy while driving on a suspended license. According to a report released Wednesday by the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office, a deputy was sitting across from a gas station in Lyerly when he noticed a 1993 Chevrolet GMT being driven by James Hammitt of a Farmersville Road, Summerville address. The deputy then observed Mr. Hammitt switch seats with the passenger in the vehicle. The deputy knew that Hammitt’s license was suspended, so the deputy followed the vehicle and observed the vehicle turn onto Oak Hill Road without using a traffic signal.
