Gwinnett County police arrested a driver on Loganville Highway near Hope Hollow Road on June 25 after an officer noticed his license plate did not match his vehicle. 
When asked for a driver's license, Jordan Jamaal Reed told the officer he did not need one and held up identification without handing it over directly. 
Reed insisted his private vehicle was held in trust and registered with the state, presenting paperwork to justify his claim. 
Police determined the officer gave a lawful command for Reed to exit the car after calling in the stop. 
When Reed refused to step out, officers placed him under arrest. 
Reed was charged with driving without a valid license, driving with an expired registration, and operating a vehicle with a license plate not connected to his car. 
It remains unknown when Reed is scheduled to make a court appearance regarding his traffic charges. 
It is unclear whether Reed has retained legal representation following his arrest. 
Police have not stated whether Reed remains in custody or has been released on bond.
