EPD Officer Charged with Drunk Driving Resigns

 The Evansville Police Department officer charged with drunk driving earlier this month after a crash in Posey County resigns.

Cory Little’s resignation is effective immediately.

He has been facing the recommendation of termination after that October 10th crash.

Police arrested Little in Posey County afterward.

It happened on Saint Wendel-Cynthiana Road after he hit a garage.

Investigators say he failed several sobriety tests.

Little had been relieved of duty and was on paid administrative leave.

He joined the Evansville Department in January and was still in the field training portion of his employment at the time of the arrest.

 

U of L Coach Could Face Steep Penalties in Escort Scandal

 University of Louisville Head Basketball Coach Rick Pitino denies any knowledge of a former basketball staffer allegedly hiring escorts for sex parties with recruits and players.

The NCAA accused Louisville of four violations stemming from its investigation.

The NCAA’s letter says Pitino failed to monitor staffer Andre McGee.

Pitino disputes that finding, saying his tendency is to over monitor his staff.

If anything, the coach says he is guilty of trusting someone to tell him what was going on.

The NCAA’s letter is the result of Katina Powell’s book, Breaking Cardinal Rules: Basketball and the Escort Queen.

Powell says McGee paid her $10,000 for strippers to perform 22 shows, many of them happening in the players’ dorms from 2010 to 2014.
