During the traffic stop, the driver was identified as Michael Loftus, 42-years-old of Freeman Street in Plymouth.
Loftus had legend drugs and was intoxicated. His blood alcohol content was twice the legal limit.
Michael Loftus was transported to the Marshall County Jail and booked in with pending criminal charges of felony possession of a legend drug, felony operating a vehicle while intoxicated with a prior conviction, and misdemeanor operating a vehicle while intoxicated over .15.

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.
