On March 15, 2025, at 2:56 p.m. Special Deputy Zach Lienemann observed a Silver 2012 GMC Sierra fail to maintain its lane of travel and nearly hit another vehicle head on while traveling West on State Road 168. Deputy Lienemann and Deputy Bart Wagner conducted a traffic stop in the Huck’s parking lot at the intersection of State Road 168 and US 41. Upon approaching the vehicle Deputies observed an open container of alcohol and observed obvious clues of impairment coming from the driver 51 year old Scott Reid of Haubstadt. At that point Deputy Wagner began a roadside DUI investigation that resulted in Mr. Reid being taken into custody and transported to the Gibson County Jail. Upon arriving at the jail Mr. Reid was charged with Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated With a Prior Conviction Within 7 Years.
Assisting Deputy Wagner and Lienemann in their investigation were Deputies Michael Owens and Wyatt Hunt.
All criminal defendants are to be presumed innocent until, and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
