A Plymouth woman was arrested Tuesday afternoon after leaving the scene of a property damage crash and was found to have never obtained a driver's license.

Plymouth Police officers responded to a property damage crash at Jim Neu Drive and Oak Drive at approximately 3:10 p.m. on March 3.

During the investigation, Officer Fisher determined that one of the drivers involved in the crash had fled the scene. The driver was later identified as Karla Galeas-Reyes, 44, of Maple Avenue in Plymouth.

Officer Fisher also discovered that Galeas-Reyes had never been issued a driver's license.

Galeas-Reyes was arrested for leaving the scene of a property damage crash and transported to the Marshall County Jail.
