On Nov. 6, 2026, officers from the Marshall County Police Department were called to a residence in the 7,000 block of Union Rd. for a report of intimidation.
Upon arriving, an officer contacted Harry S. Sturgeon Jr., age 62, of Plymouth. During the interaction, Sturgeon appeared highly intoxicated and attempted to commit a battery in the presence of the officer. Sturgeon was combative at the scene and was taken into custody after a short physical altercation with the officer.
He was later transported to St. Joseph Regional Medical Center in Plymouth for treatment of minor injuries and jail clearance. He was transported to the Marshall County Jail and lodged for Intimidation a level 6 felony, Battery a level 6 felony, Resisting Law Enforcement a class A misdemeanor, Disorderly Conduct a class A misdemeanor. Officers from the Plymouth Police Department also assisted at the scene.
Suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
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.
