Plymouth Police conducted two separate traffic stops last week that resulted in arrests for operating while intoxicated, according to reports from the Plymouth Police Department.
The first incident occurred Thursday evening, February 12th, at approximately 9:45 p.m., when Corporal Schieber conducted a traffic stop on Walnut Street near Jackson Street for an equipment violation. During the stop, the officer identified signs of impairment from the vehicle's operator, 53-year-old Jose Rivera-Isaula of Plymouth.
Police obtained a search warrant after Rivera-Isaula was believed to be impaired and under the influence of alcohol and cocaine. Following the execution of the search warrant and chemical testing, Rivera-Isaula was taken into custody and lodged at the Marshall County Jail. He faces preliminary criminal charges of operating while intoxicated with a controlled substance and operating while intoxicated with a blood alcohol content over .08%.
The following afternoon, Friday, February 13th, at approximately 4 p.m., Corporal Schieber conducted another traffic stop at Michigan and Parkview Streets after the officer determined the driver was operating with a suspended license. The driver, Kevin Cole, 43, of Walkerton, showed signs of impairment but refused to perform field sobriety testing and declined a chemical test.
Police obtained a signed search warrant, and the chemical test was subsequently performed. Cole was lodged in the Marshall County Jail and faces charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated on a controlled substance and possession of marijuana.
Readers are reminded that charging information supported by an affidavit of probable cause is a mere 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.
