arrested_handcuffsPlymouth Police arrested two people early Wednesday morning April 4th after they were dispatched to a theft in progress at the Kroger Store on North Michigan Street.

While officers were en route to Krogers, dispatch advised that the suspects had fled south in a vehicle.  Officer Tim Taberski located the vehicle on Council Drive behind the store.  He attempted to stop the vehicle which proceeded north on Western Avenue and then on to Markley Drive.  Eventually the vehicle pulled into the parking lot at Scott’y Hydraulic at 1200 Markley.

The male suspect, identified as 22 year old Quarles Mack of South Bend fled from the vehicle into a wooded area and was later taken into custody by Marshall County Police on US 30 north of that location.

Mack was booked into the jail and charged with Theft and Resisting Law Enforcement.

The female in the vehicle was taken into custody at the scene and charged with theft and resisting law enforcement.  She provided false information to officers and her identity is pending confirmation.

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.
