Marshall County Deputy Matt Geiger arrested the driver of a speeding vehicle on U.S. 30 on September 21st.

The deputy stopped a white Jeep on 30 near Gumwood Road on Saturday evening at seven. The vehicle was traveling at 92 mph in a 60 mph zone.

The Chicago driver, Juan Paul Martell Munoz Guerrero, was found not to have ever obtained a driver's license. He was arrested and taken to the Marshall County Jail, where he was booked for operator never licensed at 8:02 p.m. He was given a court date and a $100 cash bond, paid at 8:51 p.m., and released. Lyon’s towing impounded the vehicle.

Readers are reminded that charging information supported by an affidavit of probable cause is merely an 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.
