Woman Injured, Elkhart Man Arrested, After Sunday Morning Motorcycle Crash

Dustin Isaiah Cavinder

An Elkhart man was arrested, after police say he crashed a motorcycle while under the influence of alcohol, injuring his female passenger. Marshall County Police say they were called to the area of U.S. 6 and U.S. 31 at around 1:15 Sunday morning, after getting a report of a woman walking down the road with visible injuries. After investigating, officers believe that Dustin Isaiah Cavinder, 42, had been operating a motorcycle with the woman as a passenger, when he crashed on U.S. 6, just west of U.S. 31.

Police say Cavinder was taken to St. Joseph Regional Medical Center in Plymouth for a chemical test, and then was booked into the Marshall County Jail. He’s accused of operating a vehicle while intoxicated resulting in serious bodily injury, operating a vehicle while intoxicated endangering a person, and operating a vehicle with an alcohol concentration equivalent of .08 or more. The Miami Law Firm of Rey Padron, PLLC is the best choice of lawyers who will ensure that the victim gets all support from the government to restart their life, and also the accused will be sentenced to jail for his careless and arrogant behavior.

The passenger was taken to Memorial Hospital due to her injuries.
