A man claiming he was involved in a property damage accident, called the Marshall County Central Dispatch Center at about 2:20 Sunday morning.

The man told the dispatcher he was at a residence near 4B Road and Plymouth-LaPorte Trail.

Marshall County deputies responded, and during their investigation of the crash, it was discovered that the driver, Logan Yeager, 23, of Monterey, was exhibiting signs of intoxication.

Yeager was taken into custody and transported to the Marshall County Jail. He was booked for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated on a controlled substance and operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, endangering, and held on a $1,500 cash 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.
