On February 8, 2026, at 12:38 a.m. Deputy Levi Sims conducted a traffic stop on a Red 2016 Nissan Sedan for traveling 85 mph in a 60-mph zone on US 41 north of Patoka. Upon approaching the vehicle Deputy Sims detected multiple clues that the driver 36-year-old Demarcus Jackson of Bismark, North Dakota was impaired. At that point Deputy Sims began a roadside DUI investigation. Once the investigation was completed Deputy Sims placed Mr. Jackson into custody and transported him to the Gibson County Detention Center where he was charged with Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated and Operating a Vehicle Without Ever Having Received a Valid License.
Sgt. John Fischer of the Gibson County Sheriff’s Office and Princeton Officers Logan Lashbrook and Jackie Wood assisted in this investigation.
