At about 8 p.m. on Friday, December 15th, Marshall County deputies were notified that the driver of a red Jeep might be impaired. The driver was in the area of Hawthorn Road and 5C Road.
A short time later the vehicle was located on 5C Road east of Hawthorn. The driver, 49-year-old Jesus Arroyo of Jackson Heights in Plymouth was determined to have been drinking.
Officer Geiger administered a field sobriety test and offered a certified test. Arroyo was found to have an alcohol level over .15%. He was arrested and charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated. Jesus Arroyo was given a court date and a cash bond of $1500. His cash bond was paid at about 7:30 Saturday morning and he was released on bond.
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.
