(Spencer)--The Clay County Sheriff’s Office has released details regarding a minor injury accident earlier this month that led to the arrest of a Spencer man.

On the morning of June 5th, the Clay County Communications Center received a 911 call about a vehicle in the ditch at 4318 Highway Blvd. The Spencer Police Department and Clay County Sheriff’s Office responded to the area of the accident and identified 18-year-old Marqice Ramirez of Spencer as the driver. Ramirez was treated by Spencer Municipal Hospital Ambulance for minor injuries and released.

It was determined that Ramirez lost control of his 2003 Volkswagen Jetta while driving westbound in the 2200 block of 320th Street at around 5:00am, when he entered the south ditch and became stuck due to low clearance and moisture.

Ramirez was subsequently arrested following further investigation for OWI-1st Offense and transported to the Clay County Jail.
