A UA student was arrested yesterday morning after university police pulled him over and found he was driving with a suspended driver license, reports stated.

Daniel S. Nazarian, 21, of 1600 block of East First Street, was driving his 1983 Jeep at about 9:50 a.m. at the intersection of North Cherry Avenue and East Speedway Boulevard when he was spotted by an officer.

The officer said he saw Nazarian turn east on Speedway from Cherry when the traffic light was red, cutting off a car heading east on Speedway.

The officer caught up to Nazarian at the intersection of Speedway and North Campbell Avenue and pulled him over in a parking lot.

Nazarian could not produce any proof of insurance, and when police checked his identification, they discovered a warrant for failing to appear in court for a suspended license violation, reports stated.

Nazarian was transported to Pima County Jail and received a citation on suspicion of driving with a suspended license, no proof of insurance and making an illegal right turn.

He was released by pre-trial services at the jail.
