At 2:45pm on January 3rd, Evansville Police were called to the 1700 block of E. Division for a reported armed robbery. Officers arrived and spoke to the victim, ANDREW KAMPLAIN. Kamplain told officers he had been removed from his car and taken into 1702 E. Division and robbed. Kamplain said a black male suspect implied he had a gun and then robbed him.Â
Numerous officers responded to the scene and surrounded the house. Due to the possibility of an armed suspect being in the house, the EPD tactical vehicle was brought to the scene to provide protective cover for the officers. Assisting officers closed Division St to all traffic for safety reasons.
Officers were able to get all of the occupants out of the house without incident. Several people who were removed from the home were taken to EPD headquarters to be interviewed.
As the investigation was progressing, Kamplain told investigators that he was no longer interested in pursuing the matter. Kamplain signed a NO PROSECUTION form, ending police involvement in the incident.Â
