A Michigan man is facing an operating while intoxicated charge after a Marshall County Sheriff's Department deputy pulled him over for speeding on US 31 Tuesday night.
Deputy Geiger stopped a dark blue GMC Acadia on US 31 at 12th Road at approximately 9:54 p.m. on May 13th after the vehicle was clocked traveling 86 miles per hour in a 60 mph zone. The driver, identified as Davontae D. Conley, 33, of Benton Harbor, Michigan, showed signs of impairment during the stop.
Conley agreed to perform field sobriety tests and subsequently consented to a certified blood test. He was transported to Plymouth Hospital, where a blood sample was collected. The results showed a blood alcohol content of .119 percent, above the legal limit of .08 percent.
Conley was then arrested and transported to the Marshall County Jail, where he was charged and booked for operating a vehicle while intoxicated. He was given a court date and a cash bond was set at $1,500.
Readers are reminded that a criminal charge supported by an affidavit of probable cause is merely an allegation that a crime has been committed. Conley is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

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.
