On August 26, 2020, at 10:08 p.m. a Gray Chrysler vehicle was pulled over on US 41 near County Road 1025 South after Gibson County Deputy Bryce Jutzi observed the vehicle make several unsafe lane movements. Upon approaching the vehicle Deputy Jutzi detected the odor of burnt Marijuana coming from inside the vehicle and summoned Deputy U.B. Smith to the scene to begin a roadside investigation. While speaking with the driver 50-year-old Tina Brinson of Evansville he believed she may be intoxicated. At that point Deputy Smith began a DUI investigation. At the conclusion of the roadside investigation Ms. Brinson was taken into custody and transported to the Gibson County Jail. Upon arriving Ms. Brinson was charged with Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated, Possession of Marijuana, and Possession of Paraphernalia. She has since posted a $550 bond.
All Criminal defendants are to be presumed innocent until, and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
