Plymouth Police arrested 52-year-old Kenneth Allen Mattern on October 1 on an active felony probation violation warrant.
Police said officers located Mattern on Hillcrest Avenue at approximately 12:35 p.m. He was taken into custody without incident and lodged on the warrant with a $255 cash-only bond.
Court records show the warrant was issued in a Marshall Superior Court 3 case in which Mattern was convicted in January 2026 of Level 6 felony possession of methamphetamine. He was sentenced to 730 days, with 550 days suspended to probation.
The Marshall County Probation Department filed a motion to revoke Mattern’s probation on September 29. A warrant for his arrest was issued the following day.
