A South Bend woman was taken into custody Monday evening after a Plymouth Police officer observed her vehicle traveling 71 mph in a posted 45-mph construction zone on U.S. 30.
Officer Fisher conducted the traffic stop at approximately 8:15 p.m. on Monday, October 12, after spotting the speeding vehicle. The driver pulled over on U.S. 30, just east of Oak Drive.
The driver was identified as Carmen Carter, 39, of South Bend. During the investigation, Officer Fisher determined that Carter had never been issued a driver's license.
Carter was taken into custody and transported to the Marshall County Jail.
