Obituaries Evansville woman arrested on US-41 Haley Goodmon, 18, of Evansville, was charged with operating while intoxicated, reckless driving and illegal consumption of an alcoholic beverage after a traffic stop at 11:30 p.m. Wednesday night, Aug. 31. According to the Indiana State Police release, Trooper Vennekotter was patrolling US-41 near County Road 550 South when he obser ved a vehicle passing other vehicles southbound at a high rate of speed. He clocked the 2011 Hyundai Sonata at 100 mph using radar. The vehicle was eventually stopped on Coal Mine Road at US-41. The driver was identi- fied as Haley Goodmon, 18, of Evansville. Trooper Vennekotter de- tected an odor of an alcoholic beverage inside the vehicle. The driver displayed signs of impairment and failed field sobriety tests. Further inves- tigation revealed Goodmon had consumed alcohol and smoked marijuana prior to the traffic stop. Goodmon refused to sub- mit to a chemical test. She was arrested and taken to the Gibson County Jail where she is currently being held on bond. Williams pleads guilty to driving intoxicated Kayla Williams, 34, was sentenced Sept. 1 to 30 days jail after pleading guilty to operating a vehicle while intoxicated in a plea deal that dismissed charges of operating a vehicle with a controlled substance and a charge of improper or no plate light. According to the prob- able cause affidavit, the charges are in connection with a May 8 traffic stop by the Indiana State Police on Ind. 64 around White Church Road where Wil- liams was stopped due to having a hole in the driver's side rear taillight. Williams was said to have an odor of bur nt marijuana leading to the ar rest. Pierce pleads guilty to possession Nicole Pierce, of Princ- eton, was sentenced to 30 days jail, fines and fees, with credit for time ser ved Aug. 29 after a plea agreement in which Pierce plead guilty to possession of marijuana, a class B misdemeanor. Pursuant to the plea deal a misdemeanor charge of possessing parapher nalia was dismissed. The case is in connection with a June 11 arrest on West Walnut when Princeton Police were dispatched to a female said to be frantically running for help. When officers arrived, they located Pierce hiding in bushes, and, according to the probable cause, Pierce told them she had smoked marijuana earlier in the day, and recently used metham- phetamine. According to police, mari- juana was found in her purse and a glass smoking pipe was found hidden under her shirt. Man charged with OWI post-accident Jonathan Zeisler, 28, of Princeton, was charged with operating while intox- icated while endangering a person, while having a prior charge in the last sev- en years, possession of a controlled substance, oper- ating with a BAC of .15 or more and possession of par- aphernalia on Aug. 29 after a car accident at CR 500 W and Ind. 64. A witness to the accident called county dispatch, ac- cording to the probable cause affidavit, and said she'd seen the blue SUV crash after it nearly caused her to collide, and then re- ported what she believed to be a person attempting to flee the scene. She pulled over to ask if the driver was okay, and, according to what she told police, the man aggressively attempted to get her to leave the scene. When Gibson County Sheriff's officers respond- ed, they say Zeisler showed signs of impairment, had alcoholic beverage on his breath and, when asked for his registration, handed them a brown paper bag. His BAC registered .258, and an inventor y of the crashed vehicle revealed an open Southern Comfort Whiskey, two Adderall, and a black metal pipe used to smoke illegal substances, ac- cording to police. The addition of having a charge within the last sev- en years refers to a 2018 case in which Zeisler plead gulty through a plea deal to operating while intoxicated endangering a person and possession of marijuana, to have charges of leaving the scene of an accident dis- missed.
