Early Wednesday morning, August 7th, Trooper Noah Ewing was patrolling the French Lick area when he observed a vehicle cross the center line multiple times. A Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) check on the vehicle revealed that its registration was expired. Acting on this information, Trooper Ewing activated his emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop.

Eickleberger exhibited visible signs of impairment, prompting Trooper Ewing to transport him to IU Health Hospital in Paoli for a chemical test. Following the test, Eickleberger was arrested and taken to the Orange County jail, where he is currently being held on bond.
