MARENGO — Mark C. Rausch, 76, of South English, was charged Sept. 21 with driving while barred.

The Iowa County Sheriff’s Department stopped Rausch about 9:20 a.m. at East Clark and Elm Streets in North English. According to the criminal complaint filed with the court, Rausch is barred from driving until June 12, 2027 and is supposed to have an ignition interlock installed in vehicles he drives, but the 2006 Volkswagen Jetta he was driving Sept. 21 didn’t have one.

Rausch was cited for operating a vehicle without an interlock.
