On Saturday, May 25, 2019, officers with the Oxford Police Department responded to a call of a driver that appeared to be under the influence. Officers came in contact with Blake Marquis (38 of Abbeville, Mississippi) and began a DUI investigation. During the stop officers learned that Marquis had at least three prior DUI convictions on his record. Marquis was subsequently arrested and transported to the Lafayette County Detention Center where he was charged with DUI 4th. He was given a bond of $10,000 by a Justice Court Judge but due to being out after a previous felony conviction MDOC placed a hold on him.
