HBPD arrests repeat offender

A 39-year-old Bradenton man — with a history of vehicle infractions — was arrested on a felony charge of driving on a suspended license.

A Holmes Beach police officer initiated a traffic stop at 5500 Marina Drive after determining the license plate did not belong to the vehicle Marcus Jeremy Womack was driving, according to the HBPD probable cause affidavit.

The officer charged Womack with his fifth violation of driving on a suspended license, no motor vehicle registration, an unassigned license plate and possessing less than 20 grams of marijuana and a marijuana grinder.

Womack’s prior arrest for driving on a suspended license in Holmes Beach dates back to 2008 and ended in 2013 with a first-degree misdemeanor conviction and $299.25 fine, including court costs, according to 12th Judicial Circuit Court records.

On the recent charges, Womack was booked and remains in Manatee County jail on a bond of $2,740.

His arraignment is scheduled for 9 a.m. Friday, Nov. 14, at the Manatee County Judicial Center, 1051 Manatee Ave. W., Bradenton.
