BEDFORD – A Bedford man was arrested on a warrant on drug-related charges after the report of an accident at the intersection of 5th and M Streets on March 31.
When police arrived, they found a vehicle had collided with a bicycle. Police found a woman on the ground next to her bike. The woman, who was 12 weeks pregnant, complained of pain in both legs and her neck.
The woman told police the vehicle made the turn way too sharp and struck her and the bicycle. She told police she “felt the vehicle targetted her by swerving towards her.”
The woman was transported to IU Health Bedford Hospital for treatment.
Police then spoke to 26-year-old Adam Stinson, the driver of the vehicle.
He told police he was traveling west on 5th Street and turning onto M Street when he felt something contact the driver’s side of his vehicle. He immediately stopped and exited his vehicle. He found the woman lying on the ground beside her bicycle.
Stinson consented to a blood draw at IU Health Bedford Hospital. After the test he was released.
On May 29th, police learned from a lab test that there was no alcohol in Stinson’s blood, but he did test positive for meth, amphetamines and marijuana.
Stinson was arrested on charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated on a controlled substance, OWI Endangerment, and OWI causing injury.
