On Monday, June 2nd, at approximately 2:30 AM,
Deputy Ash with the Marshall County Sheriff's Department conducted a traffic stop on U.S. 30 near Oak Drive for a vehicle exceeding the posted speed limit.
During his investigation, a probable cause search of the vehicle was conducted, and suspected marijuana, along with numerous firearms, were located inside the vehicle.
A passenger in the vehicle, 21-year-old Sincier S. Hutchins of Fort Wayne, had a stolen firearm that had been altered with a device commonly referred to as a "Glock Switch".
Hutchins was subsequently arrested and transported to the Marshall County Jail, where he was booked for possession of a stolen firearm, possession of a machine gun without a license, and possession of marijuana. He is being held on a $10,000 cash bond.
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.
