On April 19, 2026, at 3:43 p.m. Gibson County Central Dispatch received a 911 report of a disturbance in the 600 block of East Brummitt Street in Owensville. Upon arriving on scene law enforcement officers could hear the disturbance happening inside the residence while approaching the residence. Deputies finally got the residents to step outside of the residence so the parties could be separated to conduct an investigation into the disturbance. While speaking with one of the parties Deputies detected multiple clues that the person was under the influence of Methamphetamines. As the investigation progressed Deputy Eric Powell applied for a search warrant of the resident and was ultimately granted a search warrant by the courts.
