City Police officers served warrants on two individuals Wednesday.
About 3 o’clock Officer Jeremy Enyart was contacted by a Federal ICE Agent who was at 420 South Walnut Street with a subject who had an active warrant through Marshall County for fraud.
After confirming the warrant, 40 year old Xiomara E. Mencias-Duarte was taken into custody and booked into the Marshall County Jail for Identity Deception with a $1,500 cash bond. ICE also imposed a detainer on her.
27 year old Emilio Ortiz of Plymouth was arrested Wednesday at 103 North Plum Street on an active warrant by Officer Ben McIntyre. He was held in the Marshall County Jail on a $1,400 cash bond on a charge of Contempt of Court.
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.
