On April 14, 2021, at 12:43 p.m. Gibson County Deputy U.B. Smith conducted a welfare check on a White 2003 Lincoln passenger car that was parked the wrong direction on County Road 850 South near County Road 1025 West. Upon approaching the vehicle and identifying the occupants Deputy Smith detected the odor of burnt Marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. At that point he began a roadside investigation. At the conclusion of his investigation 58-year-old Tina Winemiller was taken into custody and transported to the Gibson County Jail. Upon arriving at the jail Ms. Winemiller was charged with Possession of Methamphetamines, Possession of Marijuana, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. She has since posted a $750 bond.
Assisting Deputy Smith in his investigation was Deputy Quinten Might.
