A traffic stop in Plymouth led to the arrest of a 21-year-old man who police said had never received a driver’s license and had an active warrant.
Plymouth Police Officer Krynock stopped a vehicle driven by Jayson Mendoza-Romero at Third Street and Adams Street around 7:22 a.m. September 14 for a traffic infraction.
Police said Mendoza-Romero was found to have never received a driver’s license. Officers also discovered an active Marshall County warrant for failure to appear on the same charge.
Mendoza-Romero was lodged at the Marshall County Jail, given a court date and held without bond on the warrant.
