On February 24, 2026, at 8:16 p.m. Gibson County Central Dispatch received a report of a female walking on State Road 64 near County Road 800 West. The caller requested that an officer go out and make sure the female was ok. Deputy Wes Baumgart located the female who was identified as 35-year-old Jenny Garner of Princeton and learned that her Lyft driver had left her over in Mount Carmel, and she was walking to Princeton. At that point Deputy Baumgart offered Ms. Garner a ride to Princeton which she accepted. Before Ms. Garner was allowed in the vehicle a consensual search for weapons was conducted in which a controlled substance was found in her possession. At that point Ms. Garner was taken into custody and transported to the Gibson County Detention Center.
Deputy Wyatt Hunt assisted in this investigation.
