Brevard County Man Arrested on Drug and Driving Charges After High-Speed Stop

A Brevard County man is facing several charges after deputies say he was caught speeding and found in possession of drugs during a traffic stop on State Road 528 near Port Canaveral.

According to the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, Deputy Lucas Hitchcock clocked a Mercedes traveling at 90 mph in the early morning hours. The driver, identified as Jeffrey Lugo Clavell, was pulled over and told deputies he was unsure why his license had been suspended.

Authorities say Lugo Clavell presented a Florida ID card instead of a valid driver’s license. A subsequent search of the vehicle uncovered a backpack containing a digital scale with cocaine residue, suspected cannabis, and a cigarette pack under the driver’s seat holding approximately 0.95 grams of cocaine.

Lugo Clavell was arrested and charged with:

Driving while license suspended with knowledge
Possession of cocaine
Possession of drug paraphernalia

He was booked into the Brevard County Jail with bond set at $3,500.

Sheriff Wayne Ivey commended the deputies for their actions, stating they helped ensure public safety by removing a potentially dangerous driver from the road.
