A Rochester woman was arrested on Saturday after police were dispatched for a vehicle that struck several mailboxes and a pole on Michigan Road north of the Veterans Parkway at the round-a-bout.  

Corporal Ben McIntyre with the Plymouth Police Department located the suspect vehicle at Hoham Drive and Michigan Street.  He initiated a traffic stop and the subsequent investigation revealed that the driver, 43-year-old Melissa Keller, was almost 4 times the legal limit.  

Keller was transported to the Marshall County Jail and booked in for OWI with endangerment.
