Bruce Vanoven conducted a traffic stop on a Red 1999 Mercury Hatch back for speeding on US 41 near County Road 100 West. Upon approaching the vehicle Deputy Lienemann began a roadside investigation. At the conclusion of his investigation a female passenger was taken into custody and transported to the Gibson County Jail after drug paraphernalia was found on her. During his investigation the female provided a false name and identity in an attempt to conceal the fact that she had a parole hold out of Illinois. However during the booking process the female was identified as 25 year old Jennifer Jones of Mount Carmel, Illinois. Ms. Jones was charged with Possession of Paraphernalia and Deception. She remains in custody on the Illinois Department of Parole hold.
