A driver who failed to move over for an emergency vehicle on the side of the road was arrested Sunday night at about 9:15.
An officer was conducting a traffic stop on U.S. 30 west of Oak Drive when the vehicle failed to move over and came close to the officer's patrol vehicle mirror.
The officer got in his patrol vehicle, quickly caught up to the vehicle, and stopped it on U.S. 30 west of the Michigan Street exit.
The driver was identified as Alexis Herrera-Macias, 35, from Chicago. During the stop, it was determined that Herrera-Macias had never had a driver's license. K9 Officer Vinson and his partner Castor arrived on the scene and conducted a free-air sniff.
Herrera Macias was taken into custody, transported to Marshall County Jail, and booked in for driving without a license. His cash bond was paid within 30 minutes, and he was released on bond.
