A driver admitting to smoking marijuana while driving to work was arrested Sunday at about 4:30 p.m.
Officer Fisher with the Plymouth Police Department observed a vehicle traveling South on Michigan Road from Veterans Parkway on Sunday. The officer ran the vehicle plate to get a picture of the registered owner, and the result was that the driver and owner of the vehicle were suspended, so a traffic stop was initiated. The driver pulled into the McDonald's parking lot on North Michigan Street.
The driver was suspended prior and admitted to smoking marijuana while driving to work. Field sobriety tests were conducted, and a warrant was obtained for a blood draw.
The driver was identified as Princess Aries Neya Watkins, 39, of South Bend. She was arrested and transported to the Marshall County Jail, where she was booked for driving while suspended with a prior and operating while under the influence of marijuana at 6:30 p.m. Her cash bond was paid at 11:05 p.m. and Watkins was released on bond.

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.
