At approximately 10:09 a.m. on Thursday, August 13th, a Plymouth police officer stopped a vehicle for a traffic infraction. The driver, Malika L. Stallings, 30, of Mishawaka, was found to be operating a vehicle without financial responsibility with a prior conviction. She was also found to be in possession of marijuana.

Stallings was lodged at the Marshall County Jail.
