Plymouth’s Police Chief John Weir was on patrol Tuesday morning when he saw a vehicle turn in between two large “Do Not Enter” signs near Michigan and Jefferson Streets.
He initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle just after 10:30 a.m. and found that the driver had never possessed a driver's license.
Rafael Eduardo Velasquez-Parra, 39, of East Jefferson Street was taken into custody and transported to the Marshall County Jail. He was booked in for operator never licensed and released after posting his cash bond.

They are presumed innocent throughout the proceedings, 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.
