Plymouth’s Police Chief John Weir arrested a local man for possessing false government identification and operating without a license.
On Tuesday afternoon, May 6th, at approximately 3:30, the chief was behind a silver 2009 Toyota Rav4 with an Indiana temporary plate that looked different at Oak Drive and Lake Avenue. Chief Weir ran the plate, which returned to a different vehicle expiring in 2014 from southern Indiana.
At that point, he initiated a traffic stop and spoke to the driver, 39-year-old Oscar Fernin Sevilla-Martinez of Jackson Heights Road. He gave the chief a couple of different names and a fraudulent registration. He also gave Chief Weir the title to the vehicle, and it came back to somebody else.
Sevilla-Martinez tried hiding his wallet, and upon inspecting it, the chief located a fraudulent Illinois driver's license with a different name on it, along with credit cards with different names on them that he was also using.
Sevilla-Martinez was taken into custody and transported to the Marshall County Jail and booked in for forgery-possession of false government identification and operating without ever obtaining a license. He bonded out about 2 hours later.
Readers are reminded that charging information supported by an affidavit of probable cause is merely an 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.
