Plymouth Police officers made three arrests Monday, June 8th, all stemming from traffic stops involving driving violations.

Corporal Ben McIntyre with the Plymouth Police Department observed Jamie Wacasey, 46, of Culver, operating a motor vehicle in the 1800 block of North Michigan Street. A check of Wacasey's driving status revealed he is designated a Habitual Traffic Violator for Life. Wacasey was taken into custody and transported to the Marshall County Jail, where he was booked on a Level 5 felony charge of violation of a lifetime suspension for a habitual traffic violator. He was held on a $1,500 cash bond.

Later in the afternoon, Plymouth officers stopped two separate drivers who were found to have never obtained a driver's license.

At 2:55 p.m., Officer Krynock stopped Madelin F. Ponce Moreno, 30, of Plymouth, for a traffic infraction at the intersection of Jefferson Street and Kingston Road. During the stop, it was determined that Moreno had never received a driver's license. She was lodged at the Marshall County Jail on a charge of operator never licensed.

Just one hour later, at 3:55 p.m., Patrolman Thornton initiated a traffic stop at Lake Avenue and Oak Drive after observing a vehicle fail to yield the right-of-way to another vehicle. The driver, identified as Mily Yamileth Perdomo Cil, 18, of Plymouth, was also found to have never obtained a driver's license. She was transported to the Marshall County Jail and booked in for operating a motor vehicle without ever obtaining a license.
