While on routine patrol, a Deputy with the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department stopped a vehicle for speed on Monday night, September 29th, at about 7:15. The report does not indicate where the traffic stop occurred.
While talking with the driver, Miguel Contreras, it was found that he had never held a valid driver’s license.
The criminal charge for booking Contreras into the Marshall County Jail was operating a vehicle without ever obtaining a license. He was held on a $100 cash bond. Lyons Wrecker Service towed the vehicle.
(The report doesn’t include Contreras’s age or address information)

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.
