 Auto Theft/Medical Emergency Incident On 1200 Block Akin Dr. 

SUMMARY 

On May 31st, around 7:30 a.m., an EPD Detective saw a stolen red Dodge Journey driving in the area of Madison Ave. and Akin Dr. The vehicle had been reported stolen out of Kentucky early in the morning. The detective turned around and found the vehicle parked in the 1200 block of Akin Dr. There were 3 females standing near the vehicle. While the detective was placing one of the females into handcuffs, he experienced a medical emergency and collapsed to the ground. 

Another EPD Officer, who was on the scene, was detaining the other two females. He looked up and saw the detective on the ground. He ran over to the detective and immediately started life-saving measures. He began performing CPR while another EPD Officer grabbed an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) from one of the patrol cars. The AED was used on the detective. Other first responders from the Evansville Fire Department, AMR, and Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene as well. Our detective was transported to a local hospital for treatment. 

The three females were all taken to EPD Headquarters for an interview. One female was an adult and the other two were juvenile teenagers. After the interviews, it was determined that one of the juveniles had stolen the vehicle and then picked up the other two females. That juvenile was charged with Possession of Stolen Property. This part of the investigation is still ongoing and other charges may be pending. 

We would like to issue a very special thank you to Heart Saver, the Deaconess Foundation, and the EPD Foundation for partnering to supply and outfit our EPD squad cars with AEDs. The quick actions by our officers and the quick access to the AED certainly saved a life of one of our own today. We would also like to thank the Evansville Fire Department, AMR, the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office, Evansville Central Dispatch, and the hospital staff for their assistance. 

Please keep our detective in your thoughts and prayers while he recovers. At this time, he is in stable condition. We would like to respect his privacy and we will not be giving out any other medical information or updates at this time.

Governor formally signs O’Brien’s bill shielding firefighters’ home addresses after local incident

0

STATEHOUSE (May 31, 2023) – Gov. Eric Holcomb recently ceremonially signed into law legislation authored by State Rep. Tim O’Brien (R-Evansville) to shield firefighters’ home addresses from public view after a local incident sparked the idea.

In 2021, Evansville firefighter Jonathan Wright was attacked and stabbed while on a medic run, and feared the person would retaliate against him and his family. That’s when Wright tried to have his name and home address shielded from appearing on public records, but his request was denied due to state law. After hearing about Wright’s situation, O’Brien crafted legislation to ensure that protection was extended to paid and volunteer firefighters, just like other public safety officers.

“Just as law enforcement and judges already have their addresses shielded from public view, it was clear that those same protections needed to be extended to our firefighters who also serve on the frontlines,” O’Brien said. “I’m incredibly proud to have worked with Jonathan, the Evansville Fire Department and other leaders in the fire service to ensure the law was changed this session to support our firefighters.”

Wright, members of the Evansville Fire Department and other stakeholders recently joined O’Brien at the Statehouse where Gov. Eric Holcomb formally signed House Enrolled Act 1578 into law during a special ceremony. The Indiana Fire Chiefs Association and the Professional Firefighters Union of Indiana supported the bill, and O’Brien thanked Wright for also providing his testimony during the legislative session.

“Further down the path to financial ruin” – Senator Mike Braun’s statement on debt ceiling deal

0

WASHINGTON – Senator Mike Braun released the following statement about the debt ceiling deal which is expected to be voted on in the Senate this week.

“This deal makes our current bloated spending levels the new baseline going forward, setting us further down the path to financial ruin. We need deep spending cuts, and Congress shouldn’t get paid until we deliver a real budget that seriously addresses our massive debt. There’s more drama here than usual but sadly the play is going to end the same way: the big spenders in both parties getting together to increase the size of the federal government.”

Senator Mike Braun
