An Atlanta City Council member was allowed to go free after it was discovered that he was driving on a suspended license Friday in DeKalb County.

Councilman Aaron Watson was pulled over during a routine traffic stop, DeKalb County authorities told the AJC.

County spokesman Burke Brennan said Watson, the at-large councilman for Atlanta’s Post 2, was driving on a suspended license.
