Green pleads not guilty on battery, misconduct charges Michael Gibson, 38, of Evansville, entered a not guilty plea on June 17 in Gibson County Superior Court on fel- ony domestic battery result- ing in moderate bodily injury charges and disorderly con- duct charge in connecton with a June 16 incident in which he allegedly punched his father in the ear and was disorderly while being arrested. According to the proba- ble cause, at 4 a.m. June 16 Princeton Police responded to a disturbance at an Ohio Street address in Princeton. Son Michael Gibson said father Michael Morrow beat him, but the son had no bruises or abrasions. Morrow complained of ear pain, and said his son punched him after he asked him to leave. The ear was red and had a small amount of blood inside; Morrow said it was difficult to hear from. Morrow said he believed his son stole items that be- longed to him and his son's recently deceased mother, and that the items were in the son's backpack. The son consented to a search of the backpack and no stolen items were found. Gibson said his father fell on his ear. While being arrested the son was yelling, causing the police to charge him with dis- orderly conduct. A protection order was is- sued to keep son from father. A status conference is set for July 5.
