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.

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.
