Officers with the Plymouth Police Department were dispatched to 315 West Garro Street, the downtown Garden Court, on Wednesday, March 19th, at about 2:20 in the afternoon for possible drug activity going on in one of the apartments.

The caller advised there was a strong odor of marijuana coming from the apartment room.

When Plymouth Police Officers arrived, a staff member said one of the suspected males was walking out the back door to leave and was highly intoxicated.

Officer Fisher stopped the male identified as Brian Braden, 48, of the Creekside Mobile Home Park in LaPaz. He was asked if they were upstairs smoking marijuana, and he advised just what he bought at BP. Braden told the officer he still had some on him. It was field-tested and tested positive for marijuana.

Brian Baden was arrested for possession of a controlled substance and transported to Marshall County Jail. He was booked in for possession of a scheduled substance and held on 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 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.
