On 08/19/2020 around 20:30 hours while patrolling Allendale a deputy observed an ATV operating on the roadway at Mulberry and 3rd streets. As the deputy began to follow the ATV to perform a traffic stop, the ATV drove out in the county and then back into Allendale, ultimately crossing a ditch and driving across the Wabash Valley Service Company lot. Once the ATV crossed Highway 1 it stopped at 306 N. State St. in Allendale.  

The driver of the ATV then went inside the residence. Another person outside the residence would not go get the driver. Eventually the driver, Jacob Linson, 22 of Allendale came outside to speak with the deputy. After a lengthy roadside investigation Jacob Linson was cited for No valid driver's license, operating a non-highway vehicle on the roadway as well as Obstruction of Justice. 

Linson was issued a court date of 09/29/2020 and released. 

This comes as a result of multiple complaints in the village of Allendale of ATVs and motorcycles operating on the roadways.
