Bicknell Couple Arrested for Neglect

Knox County â€“ In September 2022, Indiana State Police initiated a criminal investigation after receiving information Aaron Bourland, 42, and Amanda Bourland, 34, of Bicknell, were allegedly neglecting their four children. During the course of the investigation, Detective Nick Hatfield revealed the children were living in poor conditions, had little food to consume, and were not receiving proper medical attention. The Bourlandâ€™s children range from 13 years of age to 2-months old.

After reviewing Detective Hatfieldâ€™s investigation, the Knox County Prosecutorâ€™s Office filed charges against Aaron and Amanda Bourland for Neglect of a Dependent, a Level 6 Felony. Arrest warrants were issued earlier today.

At approximately 3:50 p.m. this afternoon, Indiana State Police arrested Aaron and Amanda Bourland at their residence without incident. They were transported to the Knox County Jail where they are currently being held on bond. The children are in custody of Indiana Division of Child Services.

STATE STATUTE THAT REGULATES ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO COMMISSION VIOLATIONS

04/21/2023

0

Over a month ago an official complaint was filed against a member of the local Vanderburgh County Alcohol Beverage Commission with the State Alcohol and Tobacco Commission.

One of the complaints alleges that Republican Mayoral candidate Natalie Rascher received illegal political campaign contributions from a bar owner while serving on the local board. The complaints are now in possession of the ATC prosecutor.

We feel that Natalie Rascher has been unfairly treated by the Indiana Alcohol and Tobacco Commission members because she hasn’t been granted a hearing in a timely manner so she can defend the complaints against her in order to resolve this issue. We are told that the complaint not being resolved in a timely manner could cost her votes in the upcoming Republican primary election for Mayor of Evansville.

Attached is the link to the Indiana State Statute governing the State Alcohol and Tobacco Commission activities. Â Please review the attached link to the State Alcohol and Tobacco Commission statute that regulates their activities.

We hope you can make any sense of this most bureaucratic State Statute concerning the alleged violations filed against local Alcohol and Tobacco Commission member Natalie Rascher and give us your opinions.
