On Saturday evening at approximately 5:30 p.m., Indiana State Troopers were investigating a crash that occurred on I-90 (Indiana Toll Road) eastbound at the 22 mile-marker near the Willowcreek exit. The left lane was blocked by a maintenance vehicle with an arrow board, as well as a trooper car for the removal of the semi from the median. Both the maintenance vehicle and the trooper car had their emergency lights activated. While the trooper was seated in his patrol car, his vehicle was rear-ended by a white 2018 GMC Sierra pickup truck. The trooper sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was later treated and released from a local hospital. During the crash investigation, the driver of the pickup, Jeremy W. Lee, showed visible signs of impairment. However, he refused all field sobriety tests at the scene, as well as the certified chemical test. Trooper Joyner requested a warrant for a blood draw, which was granted by a Porter County judge. The blood warrant was completed at a local hospital. While at the hospital, Mr. Lee was also treated for minor injuries sustained in the crash. Once medically cleared, Mr. Lee was transported to the Porter County Jail where he is preliminarily charged with 9-30-5-2(a) & (b)/MA: Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated Endangering a Person 9-30-5-2(a)/MC: Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated-first offense and no endangerment 9-21-8-35(a)/IFA: Failure to Yield Right-of-Way to Emergency Vehicle-Involves bodily injury 9-21-8-11.5/IFA: Unsafe Lane Movement on Road with Two or More Lanes-Involves bodily injury 07/24/2023 Judgment Judicial Officer:Thode, Jeffrey L 01. 9-30-5-2(a) & (b)/MA: Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated Endangering a Person • Plea by Agreement 02. 9-30-5-2(a)/MC: Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated-first offense and no endangerment • Dismissed 03. 9-21-8-35(a)/IFA: Failure to Yield Right-of-Way to Emergency Vehicle-Involves bodily injury • Dismissed 04. 9-21-8-11.5/IFA: Unsafe Lane Movement on Road with Two or More Lanes-Involves bodily injury • Dismissed . 9-30-5-2(a) & (b)/MA: Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated Endangering a Person Fees:$189.00Criminal Court Costs and Fees $0.50Highway Work Zone Fee - Standard $200.00Alcohol and Drug Countermeasures Fee $110.50Criminal Case Fines $5.00Special Death Benefit Fee $75.00Refund $50.00Adult Probation Administrative Fee $50.00Adult Probation User Fee Program $680.00 Confinement to Commence: 07/24/2023 County Jail Term: 365 Days Jail Credit: 2 Days Suspended: 363 Days 11 months Condition - Adult: 1.
