Two traffic stops conducted by Plymouth Police led to the arrest of a South Bend man and a Rochester man.
Just before midnight on Friday, July 4th, Officer Face conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle on Michigan Street near Novelty Street. The vehicle was observed leaving the Taco Bell parking lot, driving south on Michigan Street with no headlights or taillights. While closing on the vehicle, the officer also observed that the vehicle was unable to maintain lanes and struck a curb when pulling over.
18-year-old Rylan Julian of South Bend was taken into custody, transported to the Marshall County Jail, and booked in with charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated and illegal consumption of an alcoholic beverage.
Early in the morning of July 5th, at approximately 4:30, a Plymouth Police Officer conducted a traffic stop on U.S. 31 near 9A Road for a moving violation.
The driver was identified as Daniel Ruiz-Parra, 21, of Rochester. Ruiz-Parra was found to have never been issued a driver's license and was taken into custody, transported to the County Jail, and booked for driving without obtaining a license.
