On October 10, 2020, 10:57 p.m. Gibson County Central Dispatch received a report of a belligerent fan at Tri State Speedway located at 10136 S US Highway 41. Deputies on scene placed the suspect identified as 35-year-old Steven Reed of Avon, Indiana into custody after several witnesses came forward to report a physical altercation between Mr. Reed and another fan. After a brief investigation Deputy Loren Barchett transported Mr. Reed to the Gibson County Jail where he was charged with Aggravated Battery, Disorderly Conduct, Public Intoxication, Criminal Trespass, and Resisting Law Enforcement. Mr. Reed has since posted a $650 bond. Alcohol was a contributing factor to this incident.
Assisting Officers were Deputy Dan Lienemann, and Deputy Garrett Tuley.
All Criminal defendants are to be presumed innocent until, and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
