On Sunday at approximately midnight, the Marshall County Sheriff's Department received a call about a domestic situation at the residence of 13340 Nutmeg Ridge Drive.

Marshall County Deputy Ash responded to the residence and investigated the matter. The husband in the incident, Michael L. Rash, 41, was arrested and lodged in the Marshall County Jail for strangulation, criminal confinement, domestic battery in the presence of a child less than 16 years of age, and invasion of privacy. He was held on a $1,500 cash bond.

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.
