He was indicted for the OVI charge, and the case was sent back to county Area II Court.
A scheduling hearing for Retherford’s case has been set for May 3, according to Linda Lovelace, area court administrator.
Retherford, R-Hamilton, was arrested March 12 after he was found allegedly passed out drunk in a McDonald’s drive-thru.
Police initially charged him with a felony of improper handling of firearms in a vehicle after finding a loaded handgun in his truck’s center armrest. That charge was ignored by the grand jury.
