Thursday morning Plymouth Police were dispatched to 1019 West Jefferson Street about 2:30 in the morning in reference to a man lying on the ground next to a bicycle.
Officer Gary Cleveland responded to the scene and located 50 year old Richard Hopkins who was passed out drunk on the ground. He was arrested and taken to the Marshall County Jail for booking on a charge of Public Intoxication after being cleared by the Plymouth Hospital.
Hopkins was held on a $500 cash bond.
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.
