EPD To Provide Shoes to EVSC Students

0

 Earlier this year Rally Point Events put on the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) bull riding show at the Ford Center and partnered with the Evansville Police Department and Cops Connecting with Kids. Proceeds from the PBR funded the ‘Kicks for Kids’ program; their goal is to ensure that local children have a new pair of shoes. Next week 3,100 students from eight elementary schools in the EVSC will receive a pair of new shoes. 

Members from the EVSC, Rally Point Events, Shoe Sensation and the Evansville Police Department will size each student, provide them with a new pair of socks and then help them select which pair of shoes they want to walk away in. 

We are thankful for the partnership with Rally Point Events, Shoe Sensation and Cops Connecting with Kids to make this a possibility for the youth in our community. 

Indianapolis Man Charged with Multiple Felonies Related to Unemployment Insurance Fraud

0

(Indianapolis, IN)- A 25-year-old man from Indianapolis is facing four counts of theft, all Level 6 felonies following a more than two-year long investigation by the Indiana State Police Special Investigation Section, Organized Crime and Corruption Unit.

According to Sergeant Jeff Coffey, a man by the name of Covenant Ben was identified as being the recipient of unemployment benefits in the form of benefit debit cards from the State of Nevada.  Ben conducted numerous transactions, which occurred on or about December 11, 2020 through February 10, 2021, at a Bank of America ATM located at 4875 W. 56th Street in Indianapolis. These transactions were confirmed by Bank of America records, ATM video surveillance footage and additional assistance from the FBI.

Additionally, the FBI helped to confirm that Covenant Ben had utilized the personal identifying information (PII) of four unsuspecting men without their knowledge or consent to apply for the unemployment benefits through the State of Nevada.

The total number of unemployment benefit cards mailed to Covenant Ben’s residence as a result of this alleged criminal activity totaled $42,660.00.  “This case showcases the collaborative work between agencies in multiple states working toward the same goal…to hold accountable those who use other people’s information for their own personal and financial gain”, said Coffey.

Upon its completion, this case was forwarded to the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office who levied the following charges:  Four (4) counts of Theft, all Level 6 felonies.

Ben subsequently turned himself in to the Marion County Jail and has since been released on bond.  Coffey was assisted by the FBI, the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation Keeper of Record and the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office.

Attorney General Todd Rokita investigates six major banks over ESG investing as part of 20-state coalition

0

Attorney General Todd Rokita announced today that Indiana and 19 other states have served six major U.S. banks with civil investigative demands, which act as a subpoena, seeking documents related to the companies’ involvement with the United Nations’ (UN) Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA).

NZBA-member banks must set emissions reduction targets in their lending and investment portfolios to reach net zero by 2050. The banks under investigation are Bank of America; Citigroup; Goldman Sachs; JP Morgan Chase; Morgan Stanley; and Wells Fargo.

“These banks appear to be colluding with the UN to destroy American companies that specialize in fossil fuels or otherwise depend on them for energy,” Attorney General Rokita said. “They are pushing an investment strategy designed not to maximize financial returns but to impose a leftist social and economic agenda that cannot otherwise be implemented through the ballot box.”

The apparent conspiracy among the banks represents yet another scheme reflective of so-called “ESG investing” — an approach that purports to prioritize environmental, social, and governance issues over profit.

“This new woke-ism in the financial sector poses a real threat to everyday Hoosiers,” Attorney General Rokita said. “Indiana’s farmers, truck drivers, and fuel-industry workers are hurt when the radical Left attacks whole segments of our economy. And it’s troubling that these banks in the Net-Zero Banking Alliance are taking marching orders from UN globalists all-too-eager to undermine America’s best interests.”
