Deputies from the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department responded to a call Thursday afternoon, just before five, regarding a male who drove a vehicle into an outbuilding on his property.
The Sheriff's Department received a call about an intoxicated male driving on his property at 20339 7th Road.
Marshall County Deputies responded and found 50-year-old Jeffery E. Samules. He appeared to be pouring gasoline into the cab of the truck, apparently intending to set the vehicle on fire.
Officers confronted Samules, and he was detained at the scene without incident. During the investigation, Samuels was found to be intoxicated and having operated a motor vehicle. He was arrested and lodged in the Marshall County Jail for operating while intoxicated - endangering and operating while intoxicated – with a BAC at or above 0.15%. He was 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.
