According to the affidavit of his arrest, Collier was stopped in his car just before 3 a.m. on Thursday after one officer witnessed someone “driving carelessly.” When the UCFPD ran his plate, Collier’s license came up as suspended.

Collier notified the officers that he had a firearm underneath his seat and possessed a concealed firearms license. However, nothing turned up when UCFPD conducted a check for his license.
