Stout was removed from the vehicle and transported to T.J. Samson Hospital. He faces charges of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol (second offense), possession of an open alcoholic beverage container in a motor vehicle (prohibited), reckless driving and failure to produce an insurance card.
