Early Sunday morning, officers from the Plymouth Police Department responded to the Red Rock Inn for the report of a possible overdose. They arrested two for possession of meth and cocaine.

Officers arrived on the scene at 1:11 a.m. and found an unresponsive female. Further investigation revealed the female had overdosed on a narcotic drug. Inside the room, police found trace amounts of cocaine, fentanyl, and methamphetamine, along with various paraphernalia.

Officers arrested 35-year-old Ernest J. Westerhoff and 32-year-old Alyssa K. Kring, both of the Red Rock Inn, for possession of methamphetamine, possession of cocaine, possession of paraphernalia, maintaining a common nuisance, and possession of a hypodermic needle.

Westerhoff and Kring were transported to the Marshall County Jail and held on $5,000 cash bonds.

They are presumed innocent throughout the proceedings and are 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
