SEYMOUR, Ind. (WISH) — Police in Jackson County arrested a former Seymour restaurant owner for inappropriately touching female employees.

Indiana State Police said Tuesday night that Marc Gebhart, 67, was arrested Monday. He is the former co-owner of Vat & Barrel.

Troopers say the investigation began in February when a former employee told them Gebhart touched her inappropriately in 2023 at a separate location in Seymour.

Investigators say more victims were then discovered, with incidents happening as far back as 2020.

Gebhart faces multiple battery charges.
