On November, 14, 2023, at 7:06 p.m. Gibson County Deputy Logan Lashbrook conducted a traffic stop on a White 2019 Jeep for speeding on US 41 near County Road 550 South. Upon approaching the vehicle Deputy Lashbrook detected the odor of Marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. At that point Deputy Lashbrook began a roadside drug investigation. Once the investigation was complete the driver 38 year old Timothy Ray of Evansville was taken into custody and transported to the Gibson County Jail. Upon arriving at the jail Mr. Ray was charged with Possession of a Schedule II drug, Possession of Marijuana, and Possession of a Device to Interfere with a Drug Screen. He has since posted a $650 bond.
Assisting Deputy Lashbrook in his investigation was Sgt. Loren Barchett and ISP Trooper Gage Cummings.
All criminal defendants are to be presumed innocent until, and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
