Guillermo Toxqui-Ortez, age 32, of the 400 block of Garro Street in Plymouth, was arrested by Plymouth Police at 4:45 a.m. on Wednesday following a traffic stop.

Patrolman Allen was on routine patrol near Oak Drive and U.S. 30 when he observed a vehicle with an expired registration. He conducted a traffic stop, and the driver was identified as Toxqui-Ortez. He was found to have never been issued an American driver's license.

He was booked into the Marshall County Jail for operating a vehicle without ever receiving a license at 5:19 a.m. He posted the cash bond and was released at 5:38 a.m.

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 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.
