A Bremen driver was arrested Monday evening following a traffic stop on North Michigan Street, north of Jefferson Street.
At about 7:40, Officer Lovely with the Plymouth Police Department was on routine patrol and observed a silver SUV driving northbound on Michigan Streed in the center of the northbound lanes, over the lane dividing line.
Officer Lovely initiated a traffic stop. When he asked the driver for his license and insurance, the driver said he didn’t have a driver's license. The vehicle also had an expired registration.
The driver, 34-year-old Celvin Martines-Avilez, provided an out-of-country ID card. He was taken into custody and transported to Marshall County Jail, where he was lodged for driving without ever having obtained a license with a prior as a class A misdemeanor, and the vehicle was impounded.
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. They are presumed innocent throughout the proceedings, 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.
