Plymouth Police Officer John Weir stopped a green pick-up truck on North Michigan Street at Centennial Park about 1:45 Monday afternoon. The truck was speeding. After speaking with the driver, 29 year old Wayne Austin Hardesty of Grovertown and running his information through the Bureau of Motor Vehicles it was found he had two active warrants for Dealing in a Controlled Substance.
Hardesty was held in the Marshall County Jail on a $10,000 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.
