After several attempts at awakening the white female, she finally unlocked the vehicle’s doors. The white female presented me with a Florida Driver’s license that identified her as Jaqueline Fumero DOB 8/24/1963. After running her driver’s license, it was discovered that her driver’s license was suspended.
