On Sunday morning, April 28th, at approximately 4 a.m. a Plymouth Police Officer located a suspicious vehicle parked in Centennial Park. The officer observed the vehicle was occupied and found two individuals.
Initially it was reported that both occupants were juveniles. During the officer’s investigation, one of the occupants had lied about his name and age, and was identified as Kevin Hernandez-Figueroa, 18 of Plymouth. The other juvenile was identified as a 12-year-old female.
Upon concluding the initial investigation, Hernandez-Figueroa was taken into custody for Child Molesting and False Informing.
Hernandez-Figueroa was transported and lodged at the Marshall County Jail on no bond.
Readers are reminded that charging information supported by an affidavit of probable cause is a mere 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.
