COUNTY OF SAC, ss.
I, the undersigned, being duly sworn and under oath, state that the following facts known by me or told to me by the other
reliable persons form my belief that Jacob Duane O T o o l the defendant committed the crime charged.
On Saturday, October 03, 2015 at approximately 2015 hours, I was dispatched to the 900 block of North 16th Street in Sac City for a
report of a person injury accident. On the scene, I found a blue 2001 Chrysler Town & Country minivan upside down in the ditch on the
west side of the roadway. Laying approximately 10 feet from the vehicle was OTool. He had multiple lacerations on his entire body. He
stated that nobody else had been in the vehicle. While speaking with OTool there was a strong odor of an intoxicating beverage
coming off his person. Due to his injuries he was transported to Loring Hospital. At Loring, I read him the Iowa Implied Consent
Advisory and when asked to sign his consent or refuse he became unresponsive. A sample of his blood was taken and sent into the
Iowa State DCI Lab for analysis. The results of the test were that OTool's blood alcohol content was .204.
