A Merrillville man was arrested Friday after a Plymouth Police Department officer pulled him over for speeding on U.S. 30.
During the conversation with the driver, it was determined that Michael Steven Shell III, 26, was operating a vehicle with a suspended license.
Shell was taken to the Marshall County Jail and booked on a charge of driving while suspended with a prior.
Readers are reminded that charging information supported by an affidavit of probable cause is a mere 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 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.
