Champaign Urbana & Springfield Decatur, IL, October 28, 2026 —
A man identified as Jeffrey Mauck was accused of threatening a young girl with a gun and trying to force her into his car in Salem, Indiana, according to the information provided. Responding deputies noted an odor of alcohol, and a chemical test later measured Mauck’s blood alcohol content at .292.
The account describes the alleged threat and attempted forced entry into the car but does not say when or where in Salem the incident occurred. It also does not identify the girl or provide details about her condition. The allegation is not, by itself, a finding of guilt.
Deputies’ observation of an odor of alcohol and the later chemical test result are the only details provided about possible intoxication. The account does not specify when the test was administered or provide additional information about the circumstances of the test.
No information was provided about whether Mauck was arrested, what charges may have been filed, or whether a firearm was recovered. The account also does not describe any court proceedings or subsequent developments. Those details remain unclear from the information available here.
The reported facts are limited to the accusation, the deputies’ observation, and the stated test result. Further details about the investigation and any legal action were not included.
