Atkins was taken to Daviess Community Hospital for a chemical test before being transported to the Daviess County Jail. He is charged with Operating While Intoxicated, a Class A misdemeanor, and Possession of Marijuana, a Class B misdemeanor. A passenger, 19-year-old Eden Burpo of Martinsville, was cited for Possession of Marijuana and released.
