Evansville Police arrested 23 year old BRITTNEY DAVIS on numerous charges during a car stop that began when officers saw an equipment violation.
At 11:35 Wednesday night, officers saw Davis driving a white Dodge passenger car near Mary St and Virginia. The car was missing a headlight. When the officers got behind the car, Davis turned on her hazard lights and drove to the Deaconess Hospital Emergency Room entrance. As the officers followed her, they ran a routine check on the license plate.
Davis stopped her car at the ER doors nd a male got out of the passenger side. Officers could see that the man had a head injury and his clothing was covered in blood. As officers were about to get out and help, they were notified that the car Davis was driving was stolen. The officers accompanied Davis and the injured man into the hospital.
While medical staff were trying to help the passenger, Officers asked Davis who he was. She said she only knew him as Jeremy. Officers had Davis exit the hospital and placed her under arrest for being in possession of the stolen car. Officers then found a handgun in her purse. A check of the serial number showed the gun had been reported stolen during a burglary in Evansville on September 24th. While completing an inventory of the car, officers found several different narcotics. They included synthetic marijuana and various prescription pills that were not prescribed to Davis.
After lying about the identity of her male companion for about 30 minutes, Davis finally gave officers his real name. Officers discovered he was Jeremiah Hinsey and that he has active misdemeanor warrants for his arrests. Due to his injuries, he remains hospitalized and a police have not been able to talk with him. Police do not have any info on how he was injured, where it happened, or who may have done it.
Davis was arrested for:
Theft of a Firearm L6 Fel
Auto theft L6 Fel
Possession of Legend Drug L6 Fel
Possession of Schedule IV Narcotics L6 Fel
Fasle Informing A Misd
Possession of Handgun without a Permit A Misd
Possession of Synthetic Drug B Misd

During this investigation, officers developed information that may link Hinsey to an Armed Robbery that was reported near the downtown YMCA several hours earlier. In that incident, a man matching his description tried to rob a woman of her car. He told her he had a gun and took her car keys. An officer in the area heard the woman scream and went to the scene. The suspect fled with the keys, but was not able to get her car. Officers were unable to locate him at the time.
Anyone with information on any of these events is asked to contact Evansville Police.
