Multiple Deputies with the Gibson County Sheriff’s Office went to a residence in the 4800 block of North 200 West in rural Patoka to serve an arrest warrant on 41 year old Justin Hill Driving Under the Influence of Drugs. On January 24, 2025, Mr. Hill was involved in a fatal motor vehicle accident where it was determined that his Red Cadillac CTS failed to yield the right of way when crossing US 41 at Old US HWY 41 and the vehicle struck a Ford Escape that was Southbound on US 41. Deputy Wyatt Hunt worked the fatal accident and following department policy each driver submitted to a chemical test. Ultimately Mr. Hill’s chemical test indicated that he was under the influence of Methamphetamines. Deputy Hunt then submitted charging paperwork and ultimately received a warrant for Mr. Hill’s arrest.
Mr. Hill was taken into custody and transported to the Gibson County Jail where he was charged with Driving Under the Influence of Drugs.
