Two LaPorte men were arrested early Tuesday morning after Plymouth Police were dispatched to 1265 Baker Street, the Riverside Commons Apartments, for a possible domestic disturbance.
City officers arriving on the scene were notified that three males had fled in a vehicle. The vehicle was spotted at 1 a.m. traveling south on Columbus Drive, and a traffic stop was initiated.
The driver, George L. Childers, 28, of LaPorte, was found to be operating the vehicle while intoxicated. During the investigation, it was also discovered that a passenger, Andrew L. McFarland, 29, of LaPorte, had battered another male at the residence with a glass alcohol bottle.
Childers was taken into custody, transported to the Marshall County Jail, and booked on a pending charge of operating a vehicle while intoxicated .15% or higher.
McFarland was transported to jail and lodged for charges of battery resulting in moderate bodily injury and disorderly conduct.
Both individuals were held on $1,500 cash bonds.
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.
