ROBBERY VICTIM AT MINIT MART
story and photo by Dona Dunkelberger, Gimlet reporter [verbatim]
On Friday, September 8, 2017, at 1:02 p.m., local dispatch re-
ceived a call about a robbery victim at the Minit Mart in
Brownsville. They were advised that there were three assailants
fleeing the scene and headed toward the car wash on foot. When
the local police arrived, they did a quick search for the assailants
in the area and then returned to the Minit Mart to speak with the
victim, Emily Lashley.
Lashley stated that Hailey Gertiser had gotten into a fight with
her inside the store and that she (Emily) dropped her wallet du-
ring the scuffle. The store employees broke up the fight but not
before Brett Higgs picked up the wallet off the floor and fled
with Zachery Hogan and [wait for drum roll to end] Hailey Ger-
tiser. The wallet was later found empty of all cash near the car
wash.
Zachery Hogan was later seen lying in a ditch on Highway 70 by
Edmonson County Deputy Sheriff Jordan Jones, and a foot pur-
suit ensued. Hogan was able to elude Jones in a wooded area.
Brett Higgs later returned to the Minit Mart and turned himself
in, stating he felt he hadn't done anything wrong.
The police are interested in talking with both Haley Gertiser and
Zachery Hogan. If anyone sees them or knows their whereabouts
please contact the Edmonson County Dispatch by phone at 270-
597-2729.
Brownsville Police Department and Chief Jeff Jewell would like
to thank all the agencies and personnel for their help.

Deputies said that upon arrival, it appeared one of the individuals,
Jamie Henderson, (33) of Bowling Green, appeared to be under the
influence of drugs. Officials said that upon a probable cause search
of the vehicle, a bag full of needles, some which were uncapped,
was discovered in her vehicle. The bag also contained a white pow-
dered substance that Henderson's passenger, Barry Rutherford, (39),

Henderson was arrested and charged with Public intoxication of a
