On Thursday, September 8th officers from the Plymouth Police Department were dispatched to 1326 West Madison Street for the report of an argument in progress.
Officers arrived on the scene and found 44 year old James Hagood of the Madison Street address holding a metal pipe yelling at several subjects.
Mr. Hagood was not complying with officer’s commands and was struck by a taser. He was transported to the Marshall County Jail and charged with Battery with a deadly weapon, Resisting Law Enforcement, Disorderly Conduct, and Public Intoxication.
Listeners and readers are reminded that charging information supported by an affidavit of probable cause is merely an 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.
