A Plymouth man was arrested Sunday evening after a traffic stop led officers to discover an outstanding warrant and that he had never been issued a driver’s license.
According to Plymouth Police, officers observed a vehicle swerving and crossing the white line while traveling on Western Avenue around 7:13 p.m. on November 8.
Police say the vehicle turned onto Pilgrim Lane, where officers observed it traveling 32 mph in a posted 20 mph zone.
Officers stopped the vehicle near Pilgrim Lane and Oak Drive and identified the driver as 33-year-old Jairo Gaitan Murillo of Plymouth.
During the investigation, officers discovered Murillo had never been issued a driver’s license and had an active no-bond warrant through Marshall County.
Murillo was transported to the Marshall County Jail, where he was booked on the outstanding warrant and for driving without ever having been licensed.
