On Tuesday morning Marshall County Police Officer Les McFarland was working Operation Pull Over on US 30 and observed a vehicle exceeding the posted speed limit near Gumwood Road.
During the traffic stop it was found that the driver, 42 year old Sean Paul Boyd of Chesterton was a Habitual Traffic Offender. He was arrested and transported to the Marshall County Jail.
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.
