Sergeant Taberski with the Plymouth Police Department was on routine patrol Friday at 2:36 a.m. when he drove through the Speedway parking lot and observed what appeared to be a male subject slumped over the wheel.
The officer pulled up next to the vehicle and parked. He observed that the back camera was displayed on the vehicle screen, and the male driver was passed out in the driver's seat with the vehicle running.
The city officer made contact with the driver, 44-year-old John M. Uzubell of Syracuse, to ensure the vehicle was not in reverse. After speaking with the Uzubell, Sergeant Taberski believed he was intoxicated.
The driver then agreed to field sobriety tests and was advised of the Indiana Implied Consent warning. The driver was transported to the St. Joseph Hospital in Plymouth for a blood draw and then transported to the Marshall County Jail, where he was lodged on the charges of operating while intoxicated and possession of marijuana and 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.
