The Plymouth Police Department made three arrests over the span of three days last week, all involving drivers operating vehicles without valid licenses in Marshall County.
The first arrest came Friday morning, May 22, when Officer Krynock conducted a traffic stop on U.S. 30 at Michigan Street at approximately 8:08 a.m. The driver, Jessica A. Mondragon, 46, of Fort Wayne, was found to have a suspended driver's license with a prior suspension on record. Mondragon was booked into the Marshall County Jail on a charge of driving while suspended with a prior. She was issued a $500 cash bond and given a court date of June 30.
Later that same Friday evening, Patrolman Thornton initiated a traffic stop near the intersection of U.S. 31 and Veterans Parkway at approximately 7:45 p.m. for a moving violation. The driver, Kelly Lynn Helt, 41, of South Bend, was also found to be operating the vehicle with a suspended license and a prior suspension on her record. Helt was booked into the Marshall County Jail and charged with driving while suspended with a prior.
The third arrest occurred Sunday, May 24, when Officer Fisher was conducting Park Patrol at Centennial Park near the wooden playground. At approximately 6:45 p.m., the officer observed a vehicle traveling the wrong way through the park. After stopping the vehicle, the driver was identified as Gerson Paguada-Macias, 36, of Plymouth. Officers determined that Paguada-Macias had never been issued a driver's license. He was arrested on a charge of operating a vehicle never having been licensed and was booked into the Marshall County Jail.
All three individuals were taken to the Marshall County Jail. Anyone with questions regarding these incidents may contact the Plymouth Police Department.
