Salisbury Man Arrested for Driving on Revoked License

Wicomico County, MD - On November 3, 2026, a deputy with the Wicomico County Sheriff's Office was in the area of East Road and Booth Street in Salisbury, Wicomico County, Maryland. While in that area, the deputy saw a driver go by who wasn't wearing a seatbelt.

What started as a seatbelt stop ended with a Salisbury man under arrest. Records showed he had been caught driving without a valid license many times before.

Maryland law requires drivers and passengers to buckle up. The deputy pulled the vehicle over and identified the driver as Dante Lee Boston.

When the deputy asked for his driver's license, Boston said he didn't have a valid one. He also told the deputy his driving privileges had been suspended in more than one state.

The deputy ran a records check to confirm what Boston said. The check showed his North Carolina driver's license was suspended and his Maryland driver's license had been revoked.

A suspended license and a revoked license aren't the same thing. A suspension usually lasts for a set amount of time, and the license can come back once the driver meets certain terms. A revocation cancels the license, and the driver has to apply to get driving privileges back.

As the deputy kept looking into Boston's record, more came up. Boston had been ticketed for driving without a valid license several times in the past, going back as far as 2016.

Because of that long history, and because the earlier tickets hadn't kept him from driving, the deputy placed Boston under arrest.

Boston was taken to the Wicomico County Detention Center. He was processed there and then released on several traffic citations.
