Plymouth Police were dispatched to the Red Rock Inn on North Michigan Street on October 15, at 11:45 p.m. for reports of a fight in progress.
21-year-old Justus Shotts of Plymouth was combative with the police and highly intoxicated. He was taken into custody and told police that he had been robbed by a neighbor who was armed with a knife. The robbery suspect was identified as Thomas Wall, 32, of Plymouth.
During the investigation, search warrants were obtained for two rooms at the Red Rock after suspected drugs were seen and believed to be present. As a result, multiple suspected drugs and paraphernalia were located.
Shotts was lodged in the Marshall County Jail on preliminary charges of resisting law enforcement, public intoxication, maintaining a common nuisance, possession of a legend drug, and possession of paraphernalia.
Wall is held with no bond in the County Jail on preliminary charges of robbery, dealing a controlled substance, maintaining a common nuisance, possession of methamphetamine, possession of a legend drug, possession of a narcotic drug, and possession of paraphernalia.
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.
