Ms. Elliott was transported to Saint Joseph Hospital for a certified chemical test and then to Marshall County Jail, where she was lodged for operating a vehicle while intoxicated endangerment as a class A misdemeanor and operating a vehicle while intoxicated by a controlled substance as a class C misdemeanor. She was held on a $1,500 cash bond.
