During the course of the stop it was determined that the driver, 51 year old Victor Rundberg of Argos was under the influence of a controlled substance. He was detained and later submitted to and failed a certified test. The officer also determined the Rundberg was in possession of a substance believed to be cocaine.

Rundberg’s bond was set at $1,500 and a court date of August 5, 2014 was set for Superior Court II.

They are presumed innocent throughout the proceedings and are entitled to be represented by counsel and entitled to a trial by jury at which the State is obligated to provide proof beyond a reasonable doubt before a judgment of guilt may be made.
