02/12/14 On Sunday, February 9th Marshall County Sheriff’s Deputy Jonathan Bryant attempted to stop on a snowmobile near the intersection of US 31 and 11th Road. The driver identified as 30 year old Brandon P. King of Plymouth failed to stop initiating a pursuit where Mr. King traveled recklessly south on US 31 before traveling west on 14th Road.

Brandon King was found to have an active felony warrant for Battery, Residential Entry and Auto Theft and now faces new charges of Resisting Law Enforcement, Driving While Suspended with a Prior charge of the same offense and Reckless Driving. He was transported and lodged at the Marshall County Jail and booked on a $3,005 bond.

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.
