Princeton man arrested on DUI charge

On August 27, 2023, at 3:53 a.m. Gibson County Deputy Wyatt Hunt conducted a traffic stop at the intersection of South Prince Street and Illinois Street in Princeton after observing an equipment violation on a Silver 2013 Ford Taurus.  Upon approaching the vehicle Deputy Hunt identified the driver as 35-year old Zachary Bailey of Princeton.  While speaking with Mr. Bailey Deputy Hunt observed several clues that indicated Mr. Bailey may be intoxicated.  At that point Deputy Hunt began a roadside DUI investigation.  At the conclusion of his investigation he placed Mr. Bailey into custody and transported him to the Gibson County Jail where he was charged with Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated.  He has since posted a $650 bond. 
 
Assisting Deputy Hunt in his investigation was Deputy Bart Wagner.
