A Chattooga County man was arrested July 8 after a sheriff’s deputy recognized him during a traffic stop and determined he was driving with a suspended license.

According to an incident report from the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office, Chase David Slater, 20, was charged with Driving While License Suspended or Revoked (Misdemeanor).

The report states Deputy Justin Claxton was patrolling the area of Highway 48 near the Menlo Ballfields at approximately 4:18 p.m. on July 8 when he observed a white Dodge Durango with a cracked windshield. The deputy reported recognizing the driver from previous encounters and knew Slater’s Georgia driver’s license had been suspended.

After initiating a traffic stop, the deputy made contact with Slater, who reportedly acknowledged that he knew his license was suspended.

Based on that admission and the deputy’s prior knowledge, Slater was taken into custody without incident. He was transported to the Chattooga County Jail, and the vehicle was released to its registered owner, according to the report.
