On Friday, April 7th, just before 7 p.m., the Marshall County Central Dispatch Center received a 911 call of a male screaming around the Days Inn Motel at 2229 North Michigan Street.
When officers arrived, they located 46-year-old Griffin Sterling of West Lake Avenue in Plymouth and after an investigation, Griffin was taken into custody by Officer Ayala from the Plymouth Police Department. Mr. Sterling was transported to Plymouth Hospital for jail clearance and then later transported to Marshall County Jail where he was booked for Public Intoxication, Disorderly Conduct, and Resisting Law Enforcement and held on a $500 cash bond. He was released on Saturday at about 1:30 in the afternoon after posting the 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.
