Winder man arrested after failing to dim headlights
A Winder man was arrested on traffic and drug charges recently after an officer stopped him in Colbert for failing to dim his headlights.
David Keith Wagner, 31, 1046 Octavia Court, was charged with failure to dim headlights, driving while license suspended or revoked, possession of a Schedule II controlled substance and possession of a firearm or knife during the commission of or attempt to commit certain felonies.
