Authorities allege Pickens was driving with a revoked license.<\/p>\n<p>Pickens has been charged with violation of a restricted driver\u2019s license involving an ignition interlock. He also faces a charge of driving after revocation.<\/p>\n<p>According to the complaint, an officer stopped the vehicle after recognizing the license issue. The officer then approached the vehicle and confirmed Pickens was driving.<\/p>\n<h2>Driver Allegedly Sought Medical Care<\/h2>\n<p>Pickens allegedly told the officer he was driving to seek medical attention. He reportedly said he needed care for his shoulder.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities also allege the vehicle did not have an ignition interlock device installed.
