An officer with the Plymouth Police Department stopped a vehicle on U.S. 30 at Oak Drive Thursday morning for a broken taillight.

At 2:19 on September 12th, Officer Fisher stopped 35-year-old Carlos Robles of Chicago. During the stop, the officer discovered that Robles had a warrant for his arrest and that he had never obtained a valid driver's license.

The odor of marijuana could be smelled coming from the vehicle, and a search revealed 67.3 grams of suspected marijuana along with various paraphernalia items.

Robles was arrested and booked into the Marshall County Jail on charges of possession of marijuana, possession of paraphernalia, operator never licensed, as well as the outstanding arrest warrant. He was held on a $1,500 cash bond.

Readers are reminded that charging information supported by an affidavit of probable cause is a mere allegation that a crime has been committed and that there is only probable cause to believe a crime has been committed. They are presumed innocent throughout the proceedings and are entitled to be represented by counsel and entitled to a trial by jury at which the State is obligated to provide proof beyond a reasonable doubt before a judgment of guilt may be made.
