A Plymouth man was arrested Sunday, December 11 after he reportedly would not stop for police when a traffic stop was attempted.
According to the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department, a man driving a 2012 Ford F150 disregarded a red traffic light at the intersection of Michigan Street and Jefferson Street in Plymouth at around 2:15 a.m. ET. The vehicle turned west and allegedly disregarded a red traffic light at Center Street.
Officers engaged their emergency lights and sirens to initiate a traffic stop, but the driver sped up and failed to stop, according to the report. The vehicle fled for a few blocks and pulled to the side of the road on West Garro Street south of W. Washington Street.
Police say the driver, identified as Edgar D. Trevino, refused to cooperate and would not open the door. Officers were reportedly able to get into the vehicle and take Trevino into custody.
An investigation reportedly found that Trevino’s blood alcohol content was more than two times the legal limit of alcohol.
Trevino was booked into the Marshall County Jail on preliminary charges of resisting law enforcement with a vehicle, operating a vehicle with a BAC of .15 or more, operating a vehicle while intoxicated endangerment, and reckless driving.
He has since posted a $1,500 cash bond and was released from jail.
Suspects are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
