A Walkerton man was arrested Monday afternoon after a Plymouth police officer clocked his motorcycle traveling at more than double the posted speed limit on U.S. 30.
Officer Fisher with the Plymouth Police Department was conducting Operation Pull Over/DUI patrol on Monday, November 9, when he observed a motorcycle traveling west on U.S. 30 from Pioneer Drive at a speed that appeared to exceed the posted limit. Upon activating his radar unit, Officer Fisher recorded a speed of 101 mph in a 50-mph zone.
A traffic stop was initiated, and the officer followed the motorcycle as it turned south onto Pioneer Drive and came to a stop.
The driver was identified as Jerry Moore Jr., 41, of Walkerton. Moore was placed under arrest for reckless driving and transported to the Marshall County Jail, where he was booked into custody.
