On December 5, 2020, at 3:40 p.m. Gibson County Deputy U.B. Smith clocked a 1998 Honda Civic traveling at 110 mph in a 60 mph zone on US 41 near the Kings Mine exit. Upon stopping the vehicle Deputy Smith identified the driver as 18-year-old Austin Market of Chandler. During a roadside investigation Mr. Market resisted Deputy Smith as he attempted to place Mr. Market into custody. Ultimately Mr. Market was transported to the Gibson County Jail where he was charged with Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer and Reckless Driving. He remains in custody on a $750 bond.
Assisting Deputy Smith in his investigation was Deputy Jennifer Robb and Princeton Officers Jeremy Robb and Lincoln Edwards.
