On Tuesday, February 12, Plymouth Police Sergeant Ray West was dispatched to the area of the court house in reference to a male leaving the building with a warrant.
The officer located 41 year old Roy Atkins of Plymouth and confirmed the warrant. Atkins was arrested without incident, and transported to the Marshall County Jail.
During the booking process, Methamphetamine was found hidden on his person. Atkins was also charged with Possession of Methamphetamine. He was held on a $50,000 cash bond for the Dealing Meth Warrant and $3,000 for the additional charge of Possession of Meth.
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.
