At the scene, Deputy Edwards noticed the odor of intoxicants coming from Loge’s breath as he was being treated by Monticello Ambulance Services at the time. Deputy Edwards discovered several medications in the vehicle. One bottle contained a powdery substance not consistent with the label on the bottle.
A field test later conducted of the substance indicated it to be that of Cocaine. While Deputy Edwards was working at the scene ambulance personal requested assistance in the ambulance due to Logue being combative and refusing treatment.
Logue was placed under arrest and taken to the Drew County Detention Facility on charges of DWI and Possession of Cocaine. Logue was taken before the Circuit Judge Robert Gibson, where he was placed on a $10,000.00 bond. Logue remains in jail at this time.
