A Bremen teenager was arrested early Thursday morning after police discovered he had never obtained a driver's license.
Plymouth Police conducted a traffic stop at approximately 2:05 a.m. on a vehicle traveling northbound on North Michigan Street at U.S. 30, underneath the overpass. Officers initiated the stop after observing the vehicle driving without illuminated taillights.
During the stop, officers determined that the driver, Yeffrey Miguel-Mejia, 18, of Faith Street in Bremen, had been operating the vehicle without ever having obtained a driver's license.
Miguel-Mejia was taken into custody and transported to the Marshall County Jail, where he was booked on a charge of operating a vehicle without a license. He is being held on a $100 cash bond.
Indiana law requires all drivers to possess a valid driver's license before operating a motor vehicle on public roadways.
