On April 12, 2025, at 7:48 p.m., Gibson County Central Dispatch received a report of a male walking in the roadway carrying a liquor bottle on State Road 64 near the State Road 65 intersection north of Owensville. Deputy Wyatt Hunt was dispatched to the area, where he located the male who attempted to hide the liquor bottle inside his jacket upon seeing Deputy Hunt. At that point, Deputy Hunt began a welfare check on the person. During the investigation, the male, who was later identified as 52-year-old Jason Reavill of Mount Carmel, attempted to give Deputy Hunt a fake identification in an attempt to conceal his identity. After a brief investigation, Deputy Hunt placed Mr. Reavill into custody and transported him to the Gibson County Jail, where he was charged with Public Intoxication and False Informing.
Deputies Loren Barchett and Quinten Might assisted Deputy Hunt in his investigation. Owensville Town Marshal Rodger Leister also assisted in the investigation.
All criminal defendants are to be presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
