Sargeant Troy Ulch with the Bremen Police Department forwarded the information to the Marshall County Prosecutor’s Office for consideration. A felony warrant for the arrest of Saw Doe Lay was issued on April 26th with charges of intimidation with a deadly weapon as a level 5 felony and domestic battery as a class A misdemeanor.
