On August 30, 2020, at 1:29 a.m. Gibson County Deputy Michael Rose conducted a traffic stop on a Red 2011 Toyota Camry for having expired license plates. Upon stopping the car on US 41 near County Road 650 South Deputy Rose identified the driver as 28-year-old Shawn Wiles of Evansville. While speaking with Mr. Wiles Deputy Rose began to pick up clues that Mr. Wiles may be operating his vehicle while intoxicated. At that point Deputy Rose began a roadside DUI investigation that resulted in Mr. Wiles being taken into custody and transported to the Gibson County Jail. Upon arriving at the Gibson County Jail Mr. Wiles was charged with Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated. He has since posted a $450 bond.
Assisting Deputy Rose in his investigation was Deputy U.B. Smith.
All Criminal defendants are to be presumed innocent until, and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
