Sergeant Ray West, with the Plymouth Police Department, was involved in the motor vehicle accident.
There were no injuries from the accident. Sergeant Ray West explained that he was traveling southbound on Michigan Street when a passenger vehicle exited the Speedway Gas Station and ran into the side of his patrol vehicle causing damage to both vehicles.
Speaking with the other driver, Kevin Guyse, he explained that he did not have insurance on the vehicle. He advised that the vehicle had just been purchased by his girlfriend and the vehicle was within her name.

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.
