On Tuesday evening, March 24th, at approximately 9:45 pm, Corporal Schieber with the Plymouth Police Department conducted a traffic stop on U.S. 30 near Pioneer Drive for a moving violation.

During the traffic stop, the driver of the vehicle was Michael Johnson Jr, 20, of Indianapolis. Signs of impairment were identified during the investigation, prompting a chemical test.

Johnson was taken into custody and lodged in the Marshall County Jail on a preliminary charge of operating while intoxicated on a controlled substance.
