Officers from the Plymouth Police Department responded to the Skylane Apartments for a report of a domestic altercation in progress on Saturday, February 14th at 12:40 in the morning.

Arriving on scene, police made contact with a pregnant female who stated that Rylee A. Williams had battered her and stolen her car keys and cell phone. She also stated that he had locked her in the apartment and would not let her leave.

20-year-old Rylee Williams of Peru was taken into custody and transported to the Marshall County Jail.  He was booked in for charges of domestic battery on a pregnant female, domestic battery in the presence of A minor, criminal confinement, interfering with the reporting of a crime, and illegal consumption of an alcoholic beverage.

 

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.
