Gibson County – Saturday night, February 12, at approximately 11:05, Trooper Hurley was patrolling in Oakland City when he stopped the driver of a 2018 Dodge Journey near Oak Street and 3rd Avenue for driving left of center and failing to signal. As Trooper Hurley was approaching the vehicle, the driver drove away and continued west on Oak Street before turning south on SR 57 and reaching speeds more than 90 mph.

  1. Another court system joke! This time Gibson County. This felon has been round and round the revolving door justice system and is expected to someday soon graduate to a level 1 or 2. Get rid of the liberal judges and prosecutors.
