Marshall County Police arrested a Bourbon woman for battery to a household member.

On Wednesday, August 21^st, at approximately 6:30 in the evening, a K-9 deputy with the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department was requested to respond to a residence in the 5,000 block of 9B Road about a domestic disturbance.

Deputy Blake Bennett initiated an investigation and determined that 51-year-old Norma Edington of 9B Road in Bourbon had battered a household member.

Edington was transported to Plymouth Hospital for jail clearance. After receiving jail clearance, the K-9 Deputy transported Edington to the Marshall County Jail, where she was booked for domestic battery with a $500 cash 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, 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.
