City police arrest three in two traffic stops

Plymouth Police Chief John Weir released details on three arrests made by his department this week. 

On Tuesday evening, January 20th, at approximately 7:10, Corporal Schieber conducted a traffic stop on a box truck that was traveling at a high rate of speed on U.S. 30 approaching Oak Drive. During his investigation, the driver showed signs of impairment. Upon further investigation, the driver, 31-year-old Gustavo Diaz-Aguirre, of Chicago, was taken into custody for operating a vehicle while intoxicated-endangerment, operating while intoxicated-controlled substance, and possession of marijuana.

Additionally, suspected marijuana was located in the vehicle, resulting in the passenger, 31-year-old Ruben Falcon Jr, also of Chicago, being taken into custody for possession of marijuana.

Both Diaz-Aguirre and Falcon were lodged at the Marshall County Jail and assigned a court date.

Officer Krynock stopped a vehicle at Oak and Jefferson Streets on Wednesday morning, just after 7, because of a traffic infraction. The driver, 30-year-old Dario Rolando Carvajal-Santos of Plymouth, was found to have never received a driver's license. Santos was lodged at the Marshall County Jail, given a court date of February 24, and a $100 cash bond.

Readers are reminded that charging information supported by an affidavit of probable cause is merely an allegation that a crime has been committed and that there is only probable cause to believe a crime has been committed. Those charged 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.
