Before Judge Ferris in Huron County District Court on Monday May 18th, Justin Terrence Kennedy was arraigned on charges of operating while intoxicated, a misdemeanor, and refusing a preliminary breath test, a civil infraction. His attorney entered a not guilty plea for arraignment purposes.
Kennedy faces potential penalties including up to 93 days in jail and a fine for the OWI charge, and a $200 fine for the PBT refusal.
Kennedy is retaining his own counsel for the duration of his case.
Bond was continued at $3,500, with 10% posted. Conditions include a prohibition on alcohol and controlled substances, mandatory random drug and alcohol testing through pretrial services, and a ban from the East Side Tire premises. Kennedy is scheduled to enter rehabilitation on Monday evening.
The prosecution must provide a plea offer and discovery by June 6, 2026. A plea cutoff hearing is set for July 2, 2026, at 9:30 AM, which is the final date for plea agreements or motions.
