SP Saddar Hamza Humayun said the SUV was being driven by the 23-year-old son of Saudi contractor Faisal Bin Terad. The Saudi contractor does not have diplomatic status and therefore, he does not have immunity.
The detained man does not have an international driving permit but possesses Saudi and American driving permits.
