On Saturday, July 15, at approximately 2:20 in the morning an officer with the Marshall County Police Department stopped a vehicle on US 30 near Pioneer Drive.
During the traffic stop it was determined that the driver, 36 year old Alfredo Diaz of Whiting was operating a vehicle without ever receiving a license.
Mr. Diaz was transported to the Marshall County Jail and booked in for Operator Never Licensed and held on a $250 cash bond that was paid Saturday about 3:30 in the afternoon. He was released with an August 15th court date in Marshall Superior Court II.
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.
