Later that morning, at 11:15 a.m., Officer Krynock conducted another traffic stop for an infraction on U.S. 30 at U.S. 31.

The traffic enforcement continued into the afternoon and evening. Patrolman Thornton initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle traveling east on U.S. 30 at Michigan Street. During the stop, it was discovered that the driver, 30-year-old Brandi Rachelle Stults of Peru, was operating the vehicle with a suspended license. She was transported to the Marshall County Jail and booked for driving while suspended with a prior suspension within the last 10 years.
