On November 11, 2020, at 12 a.m. Gibson County Deputy Loren Barchett conducted a traffic stop on a 2003 Toyota Camry for speeding on US 41 near County Road 900 South. Upon approaching the vehicle, the driver who was later identified as 28-year-old Kayla Collins provided an alias to Deputy Barchett in an attempt to conceal her identity. While speaking with Ms. Collins Deputy Barchett observed illegal activity inside the vehicle and began a roadside investigation. At that point he asked Ms. Collins to step out of the vehicle while he attempted to positively identify her. After locating Ms. Collins identification card it was discovered that Ms. Collins was driving on a suspended license with a prior conviction. At that point Ms. Collins was taken into custody while Deputy Barchett finished his investigation. During the investigation illegal drug and drug paraphernalia were found in her possession. Deputy Barchett then conducted a roadside DUI investigation. Once all the roadside investigations were conducted Ms. Collins was transported to the Gibson County Jail. Upon arriving at the jail Ms. Collins was charged with Possession of Methamphetamines, Possession of Marijuana, Driving While Suspended/Prior, False Informing, Possession of Paraphernalia, and Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated.
