On August 23, 2020, at 5:12 a.m. Gibson County Deputy Michael Rose conducted a welfare check on a Black Buick Century that was parked along the roadside of I 69. Upon approaching the vehicle Deputy Rose identified the only occupant in the vehicle as 39-year-old Kirk Rheinhardt of Evansville. While speaking with Ms. Rheinhardt Deputy Rose detected the odor of alcohol and began a roadside DUI investigation. At the conclusion of the investigation Mr. Rheinhardt was transported to the Gibson County Jail where he was charged with Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated. He has since posted a $450 bond. Assisting Deputy Rose in his investigation was Oakland City Officer Michael McGregor.
