A Plymouth man was arrested Thursday afternoon on a domestic battery charge after a patrol officer witnessed an altercation unfold in an alleyway.
On Thursday, August 27, Patrolman Thornton with the Plymouth Police Department was sitting stationary behind a vehicle parked in an alleyway that was blocking traffic. The officer watched as a male and female got into an altercation, and the vehicle pulled away into the roadway with another party hanging onto the moving vehicle.
Patrolman Thornton stopped the vehicle at Jefferson and Fifth Streets and detained Fernando Baca Villagomez, 37, of Warana Drive in Plymouth.
During the officer's investigation, injuries were noticed on the other party. Villagomez was taken into custody, transported to the Marshall County Jail, and booked for domestic battery resulting in moderate bodily injury. He is held on a $1,500 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.
