Marshall County deputies were dispatched to a single-vehicle accident in the 3,000 block of 18B Road in Tippecanoe on Friday at about 4:30 a.m.
Deputies discovered that a maroon 2012 Ford Fusion had struck a utility pole. The driver, Kay-Lee Ferry, 21, of Tippecanoe, was uninjured and had been found to have been drinking.
After initial tests, Ferry agreed to a certified test, which resulted in her blood alcohol content being over twice the legal limit. Ferry was taken to the Marshall County Jail, where she was charged and booked for operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol content of over .15% and leaving the scene of a property damage accident. She was held on a $1500 cash bond.
Readers are reminded that charging information supported by an affidavit of probable cause is a mere 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, 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.
