In response to a media request for a press release, Indiana State Police (ISP) Public Information Officer Sgt. Ted Bohner responded, “We did not make a custodial arrest due to injuries sustained in the reported crash. The report will be forwarded to the Marshall County Prosecutor’s Office. Since a custodial arrest was not made a news release was not sent out.” Since no custodial arrest was made, there is no mug shot available for Krynock.
Upon media request, Marshall County Prosecutor E. Nelson Chipman provided the Affidavit for Probable Cause (PCA) which was completed by Indiana State Trooper – District 24 Timothy Borsa.
According to the PCA, Krynock was observed on May 14, 2024 at approximately 4:53 p.m. on North Oak Drive / Pidco Drive in Plymouth operating a Blue 2012 Honda VT 1300.
The PCA further detailed that Krynock was involved in a single vehicle crash and that witnesses observed him operating the vehicle; Krynock admitted to being the driver involved in the crash.
The PCA detailed that Krynock was believed to be intoxicated because there was an odor of alcoholic beverage, his speech was slow to respond, his eyes were bloodshot, he was emotional and he cried throughout the interaction. The P.B.T / Alco-Sensor reading was 0.174 grams of alcohol per 210 liters of breath.
According to the PCA, Krynock was advised of the Implied Consent Law and submitted to a chemical test. The test was administered by drawing or taking a sample of whole blood at 7:42 p.m. The results of the chemical test was an alcohol concentration equivalent to 0.214 gram of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood.
The Pilot News reached out to Plymouth Police Chief John Weir regarding Krynock’s status of employment with the City of Plymouth Police Department. Chief Weir responded, “According to state law, disciplinary actions for police officers must be made by the Board of Public Works and Safety. The board is working through that legal process. In the meantime, Officer Krynock remains on paid administration leave as required by law.”
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.
