On December 15, 2020, at 2:06 p.m. Gibson County Deputy Jennifer Loesch observed a Gray 2014 Ford Fusion that was in the roadway in the 4000 block of East State Road 168. Upon stopping to check on the driver he appeared to be nervous. At that point Deputy Loesch asked for identification of the driver. During a roadside investigation the driver was identified as 29-year-old Daniel Kiotak of Evansville and a run through the Indiana Data And Communications System revealed that Mr. Kiotak had never been issued a valid operators license. At the conclusion of her investigation Deputy Loesch placed Mr. Kiotak into custody and transported him to the Gibson County Jail where he was charged with Operating a Vehicle While Never Licensed. Mr. Kiotak is also being held on an outstanding Failure To Appear warrant out of Vanderburgh County.

Assisting Deputy Loesch in her investigation was Fort Branch Police Chief Darrell Parker.
