Officers with the Plymouth Police Department were dispatched to Wal-Mart around 4:30 p.m. on Friday, April 6th in reference to a theft that had just occurred where one male subject involved with the incident had apparently fled the scene.
Marshall County officers were able to locate the suspect vehicle and conducted a traffic stop, according to the police report. The male party involved was apparently detained and transported back to Wal-Mart by Plymouth Officers.
Upon arriving, officers investigated the theft and two males were reportedly taken into custody. The report indicates that Plymouth resident, 24-year-old Steven Cogswell was arrested for theft while Argos resident, 22-year-old Jay Johnson Jr. was arrested for theft and trespassing.
