the opportunity to do standardized field sobriety testing. The driver was then
transported to Plymouth hospital for a chemical test where he was found to be almost four
times the legal limit. Brandon was later transported to the Marshall County Jail where he
was booked and lodged for Operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated .15% or higher and
OWI-Endangerment. Brandon was given bond of $1500.00 and a court date.
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.
