The Probable Cause Affidavits state that Alan Howard sold in total less than 5 grams of Heroin, pure or adulterated, a narcotic drug classified as a Scheduled I narcotic on three separate occasions.
Plymouth Police transported Olan Howard to the Marshall County Jail and booked him in on three Felony warrants. He is being held on a $10,000 cash bond.
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 jury at which the State is obligated to provide proof beyond a reasonable doubt before a judgment of guilt may be made.
