PLYMOUTH — On July 13, 2026, at 8:13 p.m., Officers with the Plymouth Police Department were dispatched to the area of
Laporte and Fifth St. for a 911 hang-up.
Dispatchers advised they could hear people talking, and while officers were en route, they were advised they had received another call about a domestic dispute, possibly a fight, out in a yard in that same area.
Plymouth Officers arrived and located a man walking from the area wearing no shirt and no shoes. When the Officer turned around, the man took off and ran into the parking lot at CC Hair, on Lake Ave. When the officer pulled into the parking lot, the man couldn’t be found, but the officer later located him hiding next to the building.
According to the report, the officer asked the man what was going on. He said he got into an argument with his wife, but then told officers to figure it out on their own and stopped talking. The officer could tell the man, identified as Michael Loftus, 43, of Plymouth, was slurring his words and had a strong odor of alcoholic beverage coming from his person.
He was placed under arrest for Public Intoxication and blew a PBT of 0.261 and was booked into Marshall County Jail.
Suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
