Three days later, he was issued three tickets by police accusing him of speeding, driving with an open container and failing to produce registration.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Kevin Fall, director of the city's Community Redevelopment Agency has been charged with speeding, driving with an open container of alcohol and failing to produce his motor vehicle registration, police confirmed shortly before noon.
Fall was stopped 6:53 p.m. Saturday in the 3300 block of Saxon Ave., near East 226th Avenue by police officer Joe Hunchard on a charge of driving 51 mph in a 35 mph zone. At the scene, an open container of alcohol was spotted on the passenger side of his car and he did not have his registration with him, police said.
Fall identified himself as a city employee, but that had no bearing on the issuance of tickets, police said.

We have a new Guard. The Nov. 3 municipal elections brought more voters. Yet out of 18,000-plus voters, we had roughly 6,000 show up.
It starts in your own backyard people.
NSB wanted change, leadership, and success for our city. We will see what happens.
We, in America, can only change our "future" by voting. This is a "sorry turnout."
Maybe, and I mean maybe, when it gets so bad, people will realize that change will come with the power they have, their "VOTE." This goes with federal, state, county, and municipal elections.
So where are we?
Did Congresswoman Suzanne Kosmas take $132,000 and other donations from PhRMA?
Did this convince her to vote no to Health Care Reform?
Since the Newe Smyrna Beach Democrat voted against the Health Care Bill in the house I am convinced that PhRMA was an influence on her vote. I have emailed her Washington DC office four times asking for an explanation of why she took an estimated $132,000 from PhRMA used in a direct mail piece. I have received no response.
Our forefathers’ original mistake in printing American currency was to blur the “L” out of it, and so it is that we continue to insist we’re a Christian nation because our coinage hymns out, “In God We Trust.”
Biblically speaking, this was one of those “fortunate falls.” Where else more appropriate for “God” than His endorsement printed on the object Americans worship the most?
“Gold” just doesn’t ring with it!
From my vantage point on the perch, it seems that I was one of the few fortunate ones' to be able to hear any part of what was going on at Tuesday night's city commission meeting, as our I.T. department blew it out there tail feathers yet again.
Can anyone in that department explain why that in 2009, our I.T. birds are still unable to provide a reliable audio feed allowing the citizens to listen in to the meetings being held by their elected and appointed officials?
