Plymouth Police arrested a Virginia man after he was seen taking items from a Goodwill donation bin.

On Friday at approximately 2:45 a.m., Plymouth Police were dispatched to 2201 North Oak Drive, Wendy's, for a male subject who was seen taking items from a Goodwill donation bin.

Officer Mark began an investigation and identified the male as Steven Norton, 45, of Bristol, Virginia.

Norton was transported to Marshall County Jail without incident and lodged for theft and public intoxication. His cash bond was set at $500. He was released 48 hours later with No Judicial Review.

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.
