(Michigan City, IN) - A man with a lifetime ban on his driving privileges was caught behind the wheel of a pick-up truck with help from a license plate reading camera.

 

Milo Clemons, 51, was arrested about 2 p.m. on Tuesday.

 

According to La Porte County Police, an officer was patrolling the area of U.S. 20 and Cleveland Ave. in Michigan City when he received an alert from flock camera about a 2008 Ford F-150.

 

A check of the license plate number revealed Clemons was a registered owner of the vehicle with a lifetime ban from driving as a convicted habitual traffic violator.

 

The officer soon located the moving vehicle and spotted the Michigan City area man behind the wheel.

 

Police said Clemons, who pleaded with the officer to give him a break, was taken to the La Porte County Jail.

 

He could face anywhere from a one to five year sentence on the Level 5 felony charge.
