On November 9, 2025, at 2:11 a.m. Gibson County Deputy Michael Bates conducted a traffic stop on a Silver 2016 Chevy Cruze for a moving violation near Broadway and Lake Road in Princeton. During the traffic stop Deputy Bates detected the odor of alcohol coming from the driver 18-year-old Mackenzie Mills of Wadesville. At that point he began a roadside DUI investigation. Once the inquiry was completed Deputy Bates placed Ms. Mills into custody and transported her to the Gibson County Detention Center where she was charged with Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated and Minor Consumption.
Deputy U.B. Smith and Princeton Officer Logan Lashbrook assisted in this investigation.
