On May 12, 2024, at 3:23 a.m. Gibson County Deputy Wyatt Hunt conducted a welfare check of a person who had been sitting in an idling car for approximately an hour at the Powerhouse bar located at 217 N. Main Street in Princeton.  Upon approaching the vehicle Deputy Hunt identified 29 year old Levi Owen of Owensville as the operator of the vehicle.  While speaking with Mr. Owen Deputy Hunt immediately detected the odor of an alcoholic beverage.  At that point Deputy Hunt began a roadside DUI investigation.  At the conclusion of his investigation Deputy Hunt placed Mr. Owen into custody and transported him to the Gibson County Jail where he was charged with Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated with a Prior Conviction. 

 Assisting Deputy Hunt in his investigation were Princeton Officers Bryce Jutzi and Ben Kiesel.  Also assisting in the investigation was Deputy Bart Wagner.
