Yes, he was. No, he wasn't. This is California, not Connecticut. He was arrested because he allegedly violated CVC 40302 (a) and (b) by refusing to provide his license and refusing to sign the ticket. The article quotes the wrong CVC element, and I'm not sure what the right one would be. 22515(a) is closer, but it refers to "on a highway". The article's link to CVC 22500 is clearly wrong because its constraints apply regardless of whether there is anyone in the vehicle. The SPD claimed that he "violated several laws", so there may be more to the story in the first place.
