On Tuesday, March 6th Plymouth Police Officer John Weir was dispatched to 1,000 West Jefferson Street, Jamaica Me Tan, in reference to a male subject sleeping in a sleeping-bag on a picnic table.
Officer Weir spoke to the subject in an attempt to identify who he was. The man kept changing his story so Officer Weir transported him to the Marshall County Jail and booked him in for Failure to Identify. They ran his fingerprints in the system and were able to determine his identity as 50 year old Randolph S. Majestic who was homeless.
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.
