Man attempts to elude MPD

Oden

A Le Grand man was arrested and taken to Marshall County Jail earlier this week on six traffic offenses including eluding police.

Jermaine Archie Oden, 20, was pulled over on East Anson Street. According to criminal complaints and affidavits filed in Marshall County District Court, the defendant refused to comply with an officer’s orders to exit his vehicle. The defendant then placed his car in drive and accelerated away at a high rate of speed. Multiple law enforcement vehicles with lights and sirens activated attempted to stop the vehicle without success. The vehicle reached speeds above the posted speed limits.

Oden was charged with reckless driving, interference with official acts, dark window or windshield, failure to obey traffic control device and speeding. The defendant’s preliminary hearing is Jan. 4.
