Traffic stop leads to arrest of Princeton man

On March 8, 2025, at 7:05 p.m.  Gibson County Sgt. Loren Barchett conducted a traffic stop on a White 2013 Nissan Murano for traveling on Main Street in Princeton with no headlights on.  Upon stopping the vehicle at Main and Broadway Sgt. Barchett identified the driver as 32 year old Christian Morales of Princeton.  During a roadside investigation it was determined that Mr. Morales was operating his vehicle without ever receiving a valid U.S. license.  At that point Mr. Morales was taken into custody and transported to the Gibson County Jail where he was charged with Operator Never Licensed. 
 
Assisting Sgt. Barchett in his investigation were Princeton Officers David Jones and Matthew Perry.
