Officers from the Plymouth Police Department arrested several suspects during several traffic stops this week.
Plymouth officers were on a traffic stop Monday, August 12 on U.S. 30 near Pioneer Drive. A blue passenger car passed the officers in the right lane and failed to yield to emergency vehicles.
A traffic stop was then initiated on that vehicle and upon investigation, the driver, identified as Rigoberto Ramos-Moran of Los Angeles, California, was reportedly found to have no valid driver’s license. He was detained and transported to the Marshall County Jail and booked on a preliminary charge of operator never licensed.
Additionally, Plymouth Police Department officers conducted a traffic stop on a car that appeared to have a homemade paper license plate, Tuesday, August 14. The driver, Anner Duarte-Amador, 20, of Plymouth, apparently had no driver’s license or registration on the vehicle. He was taken to the Marshall County Jail.
On the morning of Tuesday, August 14, at 1:45 a.m. ET, an officer conducted a traffic stop for a moving violation on Lincolnway East near Kingston Road. The driver was identified as 44-year-old Erick Gamma-Barrios from Plymouth. Police say it was discovered that he was operating the vehicle without ever obtaining a license. Gama-Barrios was taken into custody and transported to the Marshall County Jail on a preliminary charge of operator never licensed with a prior conviction.
Lastly, an officer with the Plymouth Police Department conducted a traffic stop on US 30 near the Oak Rd. intersection, Thursday, August 15 at 1:35 a.m. ET on a vehicle that was observed doing 70 miles per hour in a posted 50 mph zone. The driver, Pedro Mendoza Benavidez, 34, of Texas, was taken into custody and transported to the Marshall County Jail and was booked on a preliminary charge of operator never licensed.
Formal charges will be determined in each case by the Marshall County Prosecutor’s Office.
Suspects are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
