Petersburg man arrested for False Informing. 
On September 21, 2025, at 12:44 p.m. Gibson County Central Dispatch received a report of a man wearing a mask lying in the roadway of State Road 64 near State Road 65 west of Princeton. Upon arriving in the area Deputy Bryan Small located the male and attempted to conduct a welfare check of the individual. During the roadside encounter 33-year-old Ethan Adams of Petersburg gave Deputy Small a false name to conceal his identity due to him having an active warrant. After a brief investigation Mr. Adams was positively identified and taken into custody. Upon being transported to the Gibson County Detention Center he was booked in on an active Felony Warrant and a new False Informing Charge.
All criminal defendants are to be presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
