Thursday afternoon, Marshall County Central Dispatch advised Plymouth Police that they received several calls about a white Ford Explorer all over the roadway driving very slowly and stopping at green lights.
Plymouth Police Chief John Weir and Detective Workman located the vehicle sitting at a green light at LaPorte and Michigan Streets. The vehicle turned eastbound onto LaPorte Street, and Detective Workman initiated a traffic stop.
Officers approached the vehicle and found that the driver had never had a license. She also had a baby unrestrained in the backseat, asleep.
45-year-old Juanita Castro-Gutierrez of Plymouth was taken into custody, and a relative came and took possession of the baby. She was transported to the Marshall County Jail and held for operating a vehicle without a license.
