Plymouth Police made two arrests in the early morning hours of Tuesday, August 18th, just minutes apart, after separate traffic stops led to charges of driving without a license and operating while intoxicated.
At approximately 1:00 a.m., Corporal Baker was conducting routine patrol when a vehicle failed to yield at a stop sign and nearly collided with the officer's patrol vehicle. A traffic stop was conducted at Walnut and Adams Streets. The driver, Gerardo Contreras Rivera, 42, of Plymouth, was found to have never obtained a driver's license. Contreras Rivera was taken into custody and transported to the Marshall County Jail, where he was booked for operating a motor vehicle without ever obtaining a license, with a prior.
Just 13 minutes later, at 1:13 a.m., Officer Ayala made a traffic stop on a vehicle for a moving violation on North Michigan Street at North Street. A DUI investigation was initiated on the driver, 20-year-old Jaslin A. Cerrato Turcios of Plymouth. A search warrant affidavit was subsequently filed and approved. Cerrato Turcios was transported to the Marshall County Jail, where she was booked for OWI and OWI-endangerment.
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.
