Plymouth Police Officers responded to Wal-Mart about 2 o’clock Tuesday morning after two teenagers attempted to steal potato chips and alcohol.
When the store manager confronted the pair they ran from the store. The pair attempted to hide from officers in a swamp nearby but were located by Officer Gary Cleveland with the Plymouth Police Department.
19 year old Robert Rodgers of Indianapolis and 19 year old Gregory Zeller of Carpentersville were found to be under the influence of alcohol.
Rodgers was booked into the Marshall County Jail for Theft, Minor Consuming and Resisting Law Enforcement and held on a $1,000 cash bond.
Zeller was in need of medical assistance the admitted to the Plymouth hospital for care. He will be charged and sent a summons to appear once released from the hospital.
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.
