A Knox man was arrested in the early morning hours of Saturday, June 20th, after a Marshall County Sheriff's Deputy conducted a traffic stop in a residential area of Plymouth.

Paul B. Arnett Jr., 54, was stopped near the intersection of Tuxedo Drive and Squire Drive at approximately 2:01 a.m. Saturday. Following the stop, Arnett was taken into custody and lodged in the Marshall County Jail on three charges: operating while intoxicated involving a controlled substance, operating while intoxicated — endangering, and resisting law enforcement.

His cash bond was set at $1,500.

The Marshall County Sheriff's Deputy Bragg made the arrest.
