Teen Driver without a License

June 2- 3:35 p.m.- Officer Kathleen Mullins spotted a teen driving a car with three other teens as passengers at the corner of Nehoiden St. and Blacksmith Dr. Officer Mullins knew the driver and that he either had a permit or junior operator's license, making it illegal for him to have her youths in the vehicle. She approached the car and asked the driver, a 16-year-old Needham resident, for his license. He produced a learner's permit. When asked if he had a valid license, he said that he did not. Officer Mullins asked him why he was driving and he said that his father asked him to pick up his sister at the library. She then asked him if his father knew he didn't have a license and he replied that he did know.

A call was made to the father and a message left detailing that a citation would be mailed. The vehicle was secured on the side of the road and the three female companions left on foot.
