A Deputy with the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department arrested a Minnesota man on June 15th after he tested over three times the legal limit for alcohol.
On Sunday, at approximately 7:30 P.M., Marshall County Central Dispatch was notified of a possibly impaired driver traveling eastbound on U.S. 30 from the west county line. The 911 caller described the driver as being all over the roadway and unable to maintain the speed limit.
Deputy Ash with the Sheriff's Department located the suspect vehicle and conducted a traffic stop in the area of U.S. 30 and Oak Drive. During the investigation, it was suspected that the driver of the vehicle, identified as 50-year-old Mark J. Pearce of Waseca, Minnesota, was operating under the influence of alcohol. Pearce was transported to the ER at the Plymouth Hospital for a certified chemical test. He was found to be just over three times the legal limit of alcohol.
Pearce was transported to the Marshall County Jail, where he was booked for operating a vehicle while intoxicated as a class A misdemeanor and held on a $1500 cash bond.
