A Plymouth man was arrested this week after police discovered he was driving without a license and allowed his 7-year-old son to drive the vehicle.
Wednesday evening at about 7:45 Plymouth Police were dispatched to the area of Sycamore and Sixth Streets for the report of a juvenile driving a vehicle.
Officer Krynock located the suspect vehicle in the area and conducted a traffic stop. The vehicle in question was being driven by Carlos Rodriguez, 38, of Lake Avenue in Plymouth who has never obtained a driver’s license.
While Carlos was driving, he allowed his seven-year-old son to drive the vehicle while his six-year-old son was a passenger in the back seat.
Carlos Rodriquez was lodged in the Marshall County Jail for Operating Without a License and Neglect of a Dependent. His cash bond was paid just before 10 p.m. and he was released.
The jail believes his real name is Guadalup Rivera.

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.
