On December 9, 2023, at 7:03 p.m. Deputy U.B. Smith was dispatched to a residence in the 6900 block of West 450 South for a welfare check. Upon arriving on scene Deputy Smith conducted a check on multiple persons at the residence and upon speaking with the persons there it became apparent that a battery had just occurred. At that point Deputy Smith questioned each person that was involved in the incident, and at the end he placed 50 year old Trent Selby into custody and transported him to the Gibson County Jail. Upon arriving at the jail Mr. Selby was charged with battery. He remains in custody on a $1250 bond.
Assisting Deputy Smith in his investigation was Deputy Quinten Might.
