Officers with the Plymouth Police Department arrested three people on Thursday and Friday for driving without a license.
Officer Witkowski stopped a vehicle Thursday night just before 10 at North Michigan and Franklin Streets for failure to maintain lane. The driver of the vehicle, Jose Alexander Juarez Zuniga, 58, of South Center Street in Plymouth, was found to be operating without ever obtaining a license. He was taken into custody, transported to the Marshall County Jail, and booked in for operating without a license.
Friday morning, August 29th, at approximately 5:30, Corporal Schieber conducted a traffic stop on Michigan Street, South of Washington Street for moving violations. The driver of the vehicle was identified as 27-year-old Leidy Ordonez-Vargas of Plymouth, Indiana. Ordonez-Vargas was found to have never been issued a driver's license. She was taken into custody for operating a vehicle without ever receiving a license. She was transported to the Marshall County Jail and issued a court date.
Friday morning at 6:50, Plymouth Police Chief John Weir was southbound on Michigan Street from Jefferson Street and saw a shadow coming northbound on Michigan Street. The chief started turning his patrol vehicle’s headlights off and on to let the driver know that their lights were not on.
The car passed the police chief and failed to turn on the lights, so he turned around, activated his lights and siren, and the car continued without stopping until just north of Baker Street. A traffic stop was conducted, and when Chief Weir asked for license, registration, and insurance, he was handed a Honduran ID card from Josue Isai Amaya-Orellana of Plymouth. When the chief asked if he had a driver's license, he advised "no". Amaya-Orellana was taken into custody and transported to the Marshall County Jail.
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.
