Mount Carmel man arrested on drug and gun charges

On July 31, 2021, at 8:22 p.m. Gibson County Deputy Bryce Jutzi received a report of a suspicious person at Lafayette Park in Princeton, Indiana. Deputy Jutzi was advised that the unknown person was attempting to make entry into one of the locked park buildings. At that point Deputy Jutzi as well as Princeton Officers Matt Perry and Sergeant Steve McNeece went to the area and began an investigation into the complaint. While observing the area they observed 30-year-old Trevor Henson of Mount Carmel attempting to work on his over heated Buick sedan. While speaking with Mr. Henson Deputy Jutzi believed Mr. Henson may be under the influence of an unknown intoxicant and focused his investigation on Mr. Henson. During the investigation a hypodermic needle was found during a pat down for weapons. Mr. Henson was then taken into custody while the investigation was completed. At the conclusion of the investigation a stolen Springfield 9 mm and Methamphetamines were recovered from inside Mr. Henson’s vehicle. Mr. Henson was transported to the Gibson County Jail where he was charged with Theft of a Firearm, Possession of Methamphetamines, and Possession of a Hypodermic Needle. He remains in custody on a $2500 bond.

All Criminal defendants are to be presumed innocent until, and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
