On Saturday morning June 22nd, city police officers located the suspect, identified as Kelly Cowger, a 41-year-old Plymouth man. Cowger was taken into custody and transported to the Marshall County Jail.

He was booked in for felony domestic battery with moderate bodily injury, strangulation, and misdemeanor intimidation. Cowger is being held on a $1,500 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.
