52 year old Stuart Bellman of Bremen was located at 2535 North Michigan Street Sunday, July 1st, about 8 o’clock in the morning when Plymouth Officer John Weir noticed the driver’s door open on the vehicle and the keys laying on the ground.
He found Bellman passed out in the vehicle. He woke the subject and learned he had an active warrant for failure to appear.
Officer Weir walked his K9 partner Jax around the vehicle and he indicated drugs in the vehicle. A search located a Scheduled IV substance.
Mr. Bellman was booked into the Marshall County Jail for an additional charge of Possession of a Scheduled Controlled Substance and held on a $3,000 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.
