Tuesday morning, Corporal Ben McIntyre with the Plymouth Police Department was informed that Catherine Barnhart may have an active arrest warrant while he was on patrol.
The officer verified that Barnhart had an active warrant for Failure to Appear out of St. Joseph County and took her into custody without incident. She was transported to the Marshall County Jail to await transport to St. Joseph County.
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.
