Plymouth man arrested on domestic battery and strangulation charges

A Plymouth man was arrested Monday evening on domestic battery and strangulation charges following a 911 call that led officers to a disturbance on West Garro Street.

Plymouth Police were dispatched to the area of Garro and Fourth Street at approximately 9:30 p.m. on January 5th after Marshall County Central Dispatch received an open 911 call.

Dispatchers advised responding officers that an altercation could be heard on the line, but no one would answer when they attempted to make contact.

When officers arrived, they determined that residents at 800 West Garro Street were involved in a physical domestic battery incident.

Corporal Schieber led the investigation and determined that Jose Ramirez-Padilla, 47, of Plymouth, had allegedly struck a female victim and grabbed her by the throat.

Ramirez-Padilla was taken into custody and transported to Plymouth Hospital for medical clearance before being lodged at Marshall County Jail.  He was preliminarily charged with strangulation and domestic battery.  Ramirez-Padilla is being held on a $1,500 cash bond.

Charging information supported by an affidavit of probable cause is a mere allegation that a crime has been committed. The defendant is presumed innocent throughout the proceedings and is entitled to be represented by counsel and 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.
