Michael Loftus was transported to the Marshall County Jail and booked in with pending criminal charges of felony possession of a legend drug, felony operating a vehicle while intoxicated with a prior conviction, and misdemeanor operating a vehicle while intoxicated over .15.

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.
