Full Notification

On December 24, 2024, at 8:51 p.m. Gibson County Central Dispatch received a 911 call from the Brass Ring located at 219 South Main Street in reference to a patron who had taken two shots and then passed out.  Communications Officer Hannah Joyce dispatched law enforcement as well as Haubstadt Fire and a Gibson County Ambulance to the scene to check the female’s welfare.  Upon arriving emergency service personnel found 40 year old Erin Schurmeier of Elberfeld in an extreme state of intoxication.  Medics from the Gibson County Ambulance attempted to check Ms. Schurmeier’s vital stats, but during the process she became verbally agitated towards the emergency service personnel.  Once Ms. Schurmeier was medically treated law enforcement officers attempted to work with her to get someone to come take her home.  Again Ms. Schurmeier was verbally abusive to emergency service personnel.  At that point the Brass Ring staff asked for Ms. Schurmeier to leave.  At that point Ms. Schurmeier became physical, and was taken into custody and transported to the Gibson County Jail.  Upon arriving at the Gibson County Jail Ms. Schurmeier was charged with Disorderly Conduct, Public Intoxication, Criminal Trespass, and Resisting Law Enforcement. 
 
Arresting Officer Wes Baumgart was assisted in his investigation by Deputies Wyatt Hunt and Eric Powell.  Also on scene were the Gibson County Ambulance Service and Haubstadt Fire Department.
