After further investigation, it was determined that the victim’s vehicle belonged to Santiago Carlos Vaca of 415 North Michigan Street.
Approximately 3:25 Wednesday morning Plymouth Police performed a traffic stop on a SUV that had damages matching those that had occurred with a collision with the Vaca vehicle.
Officer Carrell arrived on the scene for further investigation and identified the driver as 34 year old Arlan Greer Jr. of Knox. At that time it was determined that there was probable cause to believe that Mr. Greer had been consuming alcoholic beverages.
