The smell of marijuana coming from a vehicle during a traffic stop led to the arrest of a Chicago man.
Officer Fisher with the Plymouth Police Department conducted a traffic stop on a speeding vehicle about 5:45 p.m. Sunday evening. The vehicle was driving 75 mph in a 50-mph zone.
The vehicle pulled over on U.S. 30 east of Pioneer Drive, and during the stop, the driver was identified as Giovanny Arroyo Martinez, 38, of Chicago.
While the officer was talking to the driver, he got a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. A search of the vehicle was conducted, and 8.6 grams of marijuana were located in the vehicle.
Arroyo-Martinez was taken into custody, transported to the Marshall County Jail, and booked in for possession of marijuana and given a court date and bond.
