Plymouth Police arrested four individuals in two days for operating vehicles while their driver's licenses were suspended, all facing similar charges and bond amounts.
The arrests occurred during routine traffic stops on Wednesday and Thursday, February 11-12, highlighting ongoing enforcement of Indiana motor vehicle laws.
Patrolman Thornton made two separate arrests on Wednesday for suspended license violations.
At approximately 2:30 p.m., Thornton stopped a vehicle near the intersection of Baker and Michigan Streets. The driver, Terry L. Flora, 55, of Goshen, was determined to be operating with a suspended license. Flora was arrested and lodged in the Marshall County Jail on a charge of driving while suspended with a prior conviction. He was held on a $500 cash bond.
Later that day, Thornton conducted another traffic stop at Plum and Jefferson Streets. The driver, Harold Douglas Ford Jr., of Bremen, was also found to be operating with a suspended license. Ford was booked into the county jail on the same charge of driving while suspended with a prior and held on a $500 cash bond.
Officer Krynock made two additional arrests on Thursday.
At approximately 8:30 a.m., Krynock stopped a vehicle driven by Elda Ines Vidrios, 45, of Fort Wayne, for a traffic infraction on U.S. 30 at Plymouth Goshen Trail. Investigation revealed her license status showed suspended with a prior charge. Vidrios was booked into the Marshall County Jail with a $500 cash bond.
Just after noon on Thursday, Officer Krynock stopped a vehicle at U.S. 30 and U.S. 31 for a traffic infraction. The driver, Rodney Scalf, 59, of Knox, was found to have a license status of suspended-prior. He was booked into the county jail, given a court date of March 17, and held on a $500 cash bond.

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.
