A Plymouth man was arrested Monday evening after crashing into a parked vehicle at high speed while allegedly under the influence of alcohol, according to the Plymouth Police Department.
Plymouth Police Officers responded to the 1100 block of West Washington Street at approximately 9:35 p.m. Monday for a report of a vehicle crash.
Upon arrival, officers found that a vehicle had been traveling westbound on Washington Street at a high rate of speed when it crashed into a parked car. The collision also caused additional property damage to a neighboring residence.
The driver was identified as Nelson Antunez-Oliva, 22, of Plymouth.
Officers on scene suspected Antunez-Oliva was operating the vehicle under the influence of alcohol. Based on their observations and investigation, officers obtained a search warrant for a chemical test to determine his blood alcohol level.
The results of the chemical test revealed that Antunez-Oliva was operating the vehicle with a blood alcohol level of more than .10%, exceeding Indiana's legal limit of .08%.
Antunez-Oliva was taken into custody and transported to the Marshall County Jail, where he was lodged on three charges: operating while intoxicated – endangerment, reckless driving, and operating without a license.
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 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.
