Thursday afternoon the Plymouth Police Department was contacted by WalMart for an employee that was stealing from the store.
Officer Chad Beatty spoke with store management and then took 47 year old Cassandra Bent of Hamlet into custody for theft.
Bent was then transported to the Marshall County Jail, lodged for theft with a cash bond set at $750.
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.
