On Tuesday, October 24th Indiana State Trooper Patrick O’Keefe arrested a Greenfield man for allegedly operating a vehicle while intoxicated after he drove to the Indiana State Police Bremen Post to speak to the trooper.
According to the Indiana State Police press release, O’Keefe made arrangements to meet 57-year-old Scott Schroeder at the Indiana State Police Bremen Post in order for Schroeder to retrieve some of his belongings from a separate incident. The release states that Schroeder arrived at the post around 5:30 p.m., parked out front and went to the door to meet O’Keefe.
Indiana State Police Public Information Officer Sergeant Ted Boehner reported that O’Keefe began speaking to Schroeder and immediately suspected that Schroeder was impaired. O’Keefe began an investigation and ultimately arrested Schroeder who reportedly tested over three times the legal limit of .08% blood alcohol concentration.
According to information released by Sergeant Boehner, Schroeder faces preliminary charges of operating while intoxicated, a C-Misdemeanor, and operating while intoxicated endangerment, an A-Misdemeanor. The press release stated that Schroeder was also arrested on active warrants for operating while intoxicated and criminal recklessness. He was taken to the Marshall County Jail.
