On 04.18.24 the Wabash County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a suspicious circumstance of a woman standing by the road on Highway 1 south at N 1120 Blvd. The deputy responded to the area and initially did not locate anyone. The deputy did observe a vehicle at a burned out residence that he thought was odd. Further investigation eventually revealed 3 occupants in an SUV with Indiana plates. The car had been parked with a piece of wood obstructing the registration. This has been an area where stolen vehicles have been recovered in the past. Of the three occupants the driver, Madison A. Pennington, 25 of Lawrenceville, IL, returned with a suspended driver’s license, and two active warrants out of Richland and Henderson (KY) Counties. Another female passenger, Ashlie G. Watson, 25 of Evansville, IN was found to have an active warrant with no bond out of Vanderburgh County. Jason R. McGill, 43 of Mt. Carmel was a rear passenger in this vehicle and had an active White County Warrant. Upon further investigation it was discovered that McGill was been incarcerated in Vanderburgh County and had been released four days prior. McGill and Pennington were determined to have acquired the GMC SUV from a person McGill was incarcerated with in Vanderburgh County without that person’s consent. McGill and Pennington were subsequently charged with Possession of a stolen vehicle as well. Pennington also received a charge of possession of methamphetamine. All were transported to the White County Jail and have been held over after detention hearings.
