At 1:39 in the morning, Officer Witkowski conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle traveling east on U.S. 30. The driver, 36-year-old Andrew W.

Andrew Ward was arrested and transported to the Marshall County Jail. He was booked in at 3:05 a.m. for possession of a narcotic drug and driving while suspended with a prior within 10 years. Ward’s cash bond was posted at 5 a.m., and he was released on bond.
About 10 minutes before 8 a.m. Wednesday, Corporal McIntyre stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation at Bayless and Lemler Streets. During the investigation, it was determined that 44-year-old Mario Galeano Mejia of Plymouth had never received a driver's license. He was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Marshall County Jail, where he was booked for operating a vehicle without ever obtaining a license.
