On June 30, 2020, at 3:17 a.m. Gibson County Central Dispatch received a report of a vehicle in a ditch on County Road 800 South west of US 41. Upon arriving in the area Deputy Michael Rose observed a Grey Dodge Ram with a male driver in a ditch. Upon approaching the vehicle Deputy Rose detected the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on the driver 51-year-old Jeffrey Gish of Newburgh. At that point Deputy Rose began a roadside DUI investigation into the accident. At the conclusion of his investigation he placed Mr. Gish into custody and transported him to the Gibson County Jail where he was charged with Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated. He has since posted a $650 bond.
Assisting Deputy Rose in his investigation was Sergeant John Fischer.
All Criminal defendants are to be presumed innocent until, and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
