A 30 year old man from Chicago was lodged in the Marshall County Jail as the second suspect in the armed robbery and auto theft at the LifePlex in Plymouth on Wednesday.
About 3:30 in the afternoon a black male approached the unnamed victim in the parking lot of the LifePlex, displayed a weapon and stole his vehicle.
Police have determined that 30 year old Avory Lorenz Shearer had been driving a stolen vehicle on US 30 east bound when it was abandoned with a flat tire on US 30 just east of Pioneer.
Avory Shearer was the passenger in second stolen vehicle. He was dropped off on the side of the road in Warsaw near Meijer Drive and taken into custody. Avory Shearer was transported to the Marshall County Jail on Wednesday evening and booked in for Receiving Unidentified Property and held on a $2,250 cash bond. A report will be filed with the Marshall County Prosecutor for review of charges on both subjects, Avory Shearer and Clarence Shearer of Fort Wayne.
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.
