On March 26, 2019, at 1:23 p.m. Sgt. Bruce L. Vanoven conducted a traffic stop on a Silver 2008 Ford Focus for having improper registration on the vehicle. Upon approaching the vehicle Sgt. Vanoven identified the driver as 24 year old Jackie Osborne of Evansville, Indiana. During a roadside investigation Sgt.
