On June 21, 2020, at 1:24 a.m. Deputy Loren Barchett conducted a traffic stop on a Red 2014 Chevy Cruze after observing the vehicle failing to maintain its lane of traffic on multiple occasions on US 41 near Fort Branch. Upon approaching the vehicle Deputy Barchett detected the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the driver 24-year-old Jeffrey Mosby of Petersburg. At that point Deputy Barchett conducted a roadside investigation that resulted in Mr. Mosby being taken into custody and transported to the Gibson County Jail. Upon arriving at the Gibson County Jail Mr. Mosby was charged with Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated. He has since posted a $450 bond.
Assisting Deputy Barchett in his investigation was Sergeant John Fischer of the Gibson County Sheriff’s Office and Haubstadt Officer Joshua Hoover.
All Criminal defendants are to be presumed innocent until, and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
