Plymouth Police arrest two for alcohol

On October 11, at approximately 3 a.m., Plymouth Police were dispatched to a home in the area of Hillcrest and Fairfield Boulevard for reports of an unknown issue involving a female who was possibly shoved downstairs.

During the investigation, the female was located and identified as Leah Starcher, a 21-year-old from Hartville, Ohio. City officers determined that Starcher was intoxicated.  She was taken into custody and transported to the hospital.

A male located at a residence on Winding Oak Drive was identified as Zachary Nelson, 20, of Holland, Michigan.

The officer's investigation found that Nelson and Starcher were in a verbal argument and were both intoxicated. Nelson was also taken into custody and transported to the hospital.

Starcher and Nelson were seen by the emergency room physician and cleared for jail. Both were lodged in the Marshall County Jail. Starcher is facing a preliminary charge of public intoxication, and Nelson was arrested for illegal consumption of alcohol.

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.
