Plymouth Police Department officers were contacted via Facebook Messenger Monday, September 16 in regards to a possible domestic situation in the 900 block of West Harrison Street.
Upon arrival, Plymouth officers located the female victim inside the business.
The suspect, Michael Rash, 38, of Plymouth returned to the scene moments later. Police say the victim stated that she had been battered by Rash and that she had locked herself in the bathroom while she contacted the police. She had several physical wounds on her body, and she had complaints of internal pain, according to the report.
Rash had what appeared to be a minor scratch and abrasion. Through a thorough investigation, it was determined that there was a primary aggressor in this situation.
Michael Rash was taken into custody and transported to the Marshall County Jail where he was lodged on preliminary charges of criminal confinement resulting in moderate bodily injury, domestic battery resulting in moderate bodily injury, and strangulation.
Formal charges will be determined by the Marshall County Prosecutor’s Office.
Suspects are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
