At 7:26 A.M. on Thursday, November 14th Officer John Weir with the Plymouth Police Department initiated a traffic stop on a white Cadillac at Harrison Street and 5th Street for having no tail lights or a license plate. During the course of the investigation it was found that 36 year old Jesus Santiago Orozco of Plymouth had never received a driver’s license.
Mr. Orozco was taken into custody and lodged at the Marshall County Jail and held on a preliminary charge of operator never licensed and booked on a $255 bond. He was released later that day after posting bond and was issued a December 9th Superior II court date.
Listeners and readers are reminded that charging information supported by an affidavit of probable cause is merely an allegation that a crime has been committed and that there is only probable cause to believe a crime has been committed. They are presumed innocent throughout the proceedings and are entitled to be represented by counsel and entitled to a trial by jury at which the State is obligated to provide proof beyond a reasonable doubt before a judgment of guilt may be made.
