Thirty-two year old Robert A. James of Plymouth was arrested Monday afternoon for attempted murder, disorderly conduct and battery with a knife.
About 7:15 Sunday evening Plymouth Police were dispatched to 516 Pennsylvania Avenue to a physical domestic disturbance that was in process. Officers Stuart Krynock and Bridget Hite arrived and found 43 year old Ronald D. Obenchain Jr. with multiple stab wounds. Obenchain was airlifted to Memorial Hospital in South Bend.
The altercation started as a verbal argument that escalated.
Robert James was transported to Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center in Plymouth to be checked by medical staff and when he was released today he was transported to the Marshall County Jail and lodged on the charge of attempted murder. He is currently being held with no bond.
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.
