PLYMOUTH — On May 6, 2026, at 4:38 p.m., Officers with the Plymouth Police Department were dispatched to Centennial Park
for a man who was sitting in the men’s bathroom by the wooden playground, drinking alcohol, and possibly smoking drugs or using drugs.
When Plymouth Officers arrived on scene, a man was located sitting on the floor, and I could see an alcohol can sitting on the floor as well. The officer tried to make contact with the male, but he was slow to open the bathroom stall door, and when he did, the officer got a strong odor of alcoholic beverage coming from the man, who denied he was drinking, but there were several other cans of alcohol in the trash next to him.
The man was identified as Coty James, 37, of Plymouth. James advised that he can’t drink at home, and he went to the park and drank. He was placed under arrest for public intoxication and transported to the Marshall County Jail. He was given a Portable Breath Test and was .198 BAC.
Suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
