A traffic stop on Sunday morning resulted in the arrest of a Knox man for driving without a license.

Sergeant Jordan Rans with the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department was on patrol and stopped a vehicle on State Road 17 west of Redwood Road at 11:29 a.m. for a traffic infraction.

During the investigation of the traffic infraction, the officer found that the driver, Oscar Juarez, 33, of Knox, was not licensed.

Juarez was arrested and taken to the Marshall County Jail for operating without a driver’s license, with a previous offense. The cash bond for his case was $500, and it was paid within 90 minutes, leading to Juarez’s release on bond.
