When a car was stopped by a police officer who saw there was no front license plate on it, a passenger wanted on an arrest warrant was taken into custody, and a search of the car found cocaine, so both the arrested man and the driver were charged with drug possession, police said. Darien police described what happened with this account, including accusations not proven in court:

At about 11:42 a.m. on Monday, June 24, the officer, who was on patrol, saw the car, a 2014 Toyota Corolla, being driven on Old Kings Highway North. Not only was there no front license plate, but the one attached to the rear was for another car — an Acura. The driver was Nathan Leon, 72, of Bridgeport. He had a valid driver’s license, but the car he was driving wasn’t registered.
