Just after 9 p.m. on Saturday, an officer with the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department located the suspect vehicle and conducted a traffic stop on Michigan Street, just north of Airport Road, after observing moving violations.
During the investigation, it was determined that the driver, 28-year-old Christopher Hernandez of Plymouth, was intoxicated, and two juvenile passengers were present in the vehicle.
A Plymouth Police Officer assigned to Operation Pull Over assisted and took over the investigation. A chemical test was completed, and Hernandez was taken into custody for operating a vehicle while intoxicated, endangering, and operating while intoxicated-passenger less under 18.
Hernandez was transported to the Marshall County Jail and booked.
