Evansville Police responding to a fight between two men in the 200 block of E. Missouri uncovered more serious activity involving one of the men.
While police were speaking with 34 year old DONALD ROBB, they believed he was hallucinating and was under the influence of methamphetamine. Robb told the officers there had been a fire in his house and that his skin was burning from exposure to lithium. Officers went to 221 E. Florida and determined there had been an active meth lab in the house. EFD responded as well, but there was no active fire. Robb was taken to Deaconess Hospital to be treated for his burns and his intoxication.
When officers arrived at the emergency room, they were told there was a female there who was being treated for injuries she received when Robb assaulted her and held her against her will for several hours. During that time, Robb pointed a handgun at her several times and threatened her. The female had minor injuries.
Officers found a one pot meth lab and a handgun at the home on Florida.
Robb was admitted for overnight observation and is under police guard. Upon his release from the hospital, he will be taken to jail. He has been charged with Criminal Confinement with a Weapon B-felony, Intimidation with a Weapon C-felony, Pointing a firearm, D- felony, and Domestic Violence A- misdemeanor. The investigation into the meth lab is on-going and additional charges may be filed at a later date.
