Report of accident leads to arrest of Evansville woman on DUI charge

On December 20, 2020, at 1:07 a.m. Gibson County Central Dispatch received a 911 report of a vehicle that had ran off the roadway on Interstate 69 at the 24 mile marker. Deputy Garrett Tuley arrived on scene and located the Brown 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander. Upon approaching the vehicle Deputy Tuley detected the overwhelming odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the driver 28-year-old Kaitlyn Cavender of Evansville, Indiana. At that point Deputy Tuley began a roadside DUI investigation. At the conclusion of his investigation he placed Ms. Cavender into custody and transported her to the Gibson County Jail. Upon arriving at the Gibson County Jail Ms. Cavender was charged with Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated. She has since posted a $650 bond.
