Friday evening about 10:45 Bourbon Police were dispatched to the area of 124 ½ North Main Street for a complaint of burning marijuana.
Officers Matt Geiger Mathew Haskins spoke with the tenant, Braxton Seichrist who admitted to having smoke marijuana earlier in the day. He allowed the officers to search the apartment and they were able to locate a small amount of marijuana and paraphernalia.
Mr. Sechrist was transported to the Bourbon Police Department for paperwork. After signing a promise to appear for court he was released.
Listeners and 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 probable cause to believe a crime has been committed. 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.
