A single vehicle accident on Friday evening around 8 p.m., resulted in the arrest of a female on multiple charges, including neglect of a dependent.

Officers with the Plymouth Police Department responded to Jefferson and Fifth Street for a single-vehicle accident.

During the investigation, it was determined that Amahirani Vargas, 31, of W. Jefferson Street in Plymouth, was intoxicated.

Vargas was lodged in the Marshall County Jail for operating a vehicle while intoxicated, neglect of a dependent, and operating a vehicle without ever obtaining a license.

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 it has. 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.
