Thursday (2/23/17) morning about 11:30 Plymouth Police Officer Steve DeLee was dispatched to the Kroger store on North Michigan Street for a male subject who had been trespassed earlier and was back in the parking lot.
Officer DeLee located the suspect, 34 year old Scott M. Tharpe who lied about his identity in an attempt to hide from a warrant.
Mr. Tharpe was taken into custody and transported to the County Jail where he was booked in for False Informing and Trespass after Being Denied and held on a $1,500 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.
