Traffic stop leads to arrest of Owensville man on DUI charge

On August 18, 2020, at 8:56 p.m. Gibson County Deputy U.B. Smith conducted a traffic stop on a Red 2007 Dodge Truck after observing the driver of the vehicle was not wearing their safety belt on State Road 165 near Elm Street in Owensville. Upon approaching the vehicle Deputy Smith detected the odor of alcohol coming from the driver 56-year-old Timothy Davis of Owensville. At that point Deputy Smith began a roadside DUI investigation that resulted in Mr. Davis being taken into custody and transported to the Gibson County Jail. Upon arriving at the Jail Mr. Davis was charged with Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated. He has since posted a $650 bond.

Assisting Deputy Smith in his investigation was Owensville Town Marshal Rodger Leister.
