Plymouth Police Officer makes back-to-back traffic arrests Wednesday morning

A Plymouth Police Department officer made two back-to-back arrests for serious driving violations on Wednesday morning, April 29th, following routine traffic stops.

The first incident occurred when Officer Krynock stopped a vehicle driven by 39-year-old Natasha R. Berry of South Bend for a traffic infraction near the intersection of Hoham Drive and Western Avenue. During the stop, it was discovered that Berry was driving with a suspended license with a prior conviction. She was booked into the Marshall County Jail at 10:06 a.m. and was later released on bond at 12:08 p.m.

Just minutes later, at 10:18 a.m., Officer Krynock initiated a second traffic stop for an infraction at U.S. 31 and 11th Road. The driver, identified as 50-year-old Preston A. Hensley of Plymouth, was found to be operating a vehicle with a Habitual Traffic Violator license status.

Hensley was taken into custody and lodged at the Marshall County Jail at 11:07 a.m. on the habitual traffic violator charge. He was subsequently released at 4:13 p.m. after posting a cash bond.

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.
