Orlando man arrested for never having a driver’s license

An out-of-state man got a rude awakening when he was arrested in Plymouth. On June 20, at approximately 9:45 p.m., Plymouth Police Officer Vinson conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle. The vehicle was driven at night without its lights on when it also crossed the center line of Michigan Street, south of Skylane Drive.

When officers stopped the vehicle, the driver was found to be Joshua Rodriguez Monzon. Monzon, a 27-year-old man from Orlando, Florida, has never had a driver’s license. Monzon was subsequently arrested by police and taken to the Marshall County Jail.

The 27-year-old Orlando man was charged with driving without a license and was officially booked into jail just before 10:30 p.m. This is a new charge for Monzon, who was released from jail at 12:14 a.m. on Friday the 21st.^st after his bail was paid.

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 a reasonable suspicion to believe that a crime has been committed. Defendants are presumed innocent throughout the trial and are entitled to legal representation and to a jury trial, where the State is required to present evidence beyond a reasonable doubt before a verdict of guilt can be entered.
