Just after midnight on Saturday, September 2nd, Plymouth Police responded to Jefferson and Walnut Streets for reports of a reckless driver. The vehicle was gone from the location, but city officers continued looking for the suspect vehicle.
A little later in the morning, around 1:30 a city officer observed the suspect vehicle traveling south on Oak Drive in excess of 20 MPH over the posted speed limit.
A traffic stop was initiated at Family Express located at the corner of Oak Drive and Jefferson Street and during the investigation, the driver was identified as 18-year-old, Glenn A. Manns of the 400 block of North Walnut Street in Plymouth. The officer’s investigation determined Manns to be in possession of alcohol, under the influence, and suspected of operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
Glenn Manns was booked into the Marshall County Jail with pending criminal charges for Illegal Consumption of Alcohol, Illegal Possession of Alcohol, and Operating While Intoxicated.
