Knox County – Friday night, August 29, at approximately 11:40 p.m., Trooper Hurley stopped the driver of a black Jeep for disregarding the traffic light on SR 550 at SR 67. The driver was identified as Ian Stewart, 40, of Washington. Stewart displayed signs of impairment.  Moments later, additional officers from Indiana State Police and Knox County Sheriff’s Office arrived to assist. Stewart was instructed to exit his vehicle so field sobriety tests could be conducted, but he refused. Trooper Hurley opened the driver’s door and again instructed Stewart to exit, but Stewart put his vehicle in drive and fled south on SR 67 from Thompson Road. Just south of Church Road, Stewart exited the highway and drove into a bean field. Stewart eventually stopped in the bean field, exited his vehicle, and laid down so he couldn’t be seen. Officers set up a perimeter and used a PA system to order him to exit the bean field. Stewart eventually surrendered and was arrested without further incident. When officers searched Stewart, they located two syringes containing a dark liquid. A fully loaded 9mm magazine was found inside his vehicle. A firearm was not located. Stewart was transported to the Knox County Jail where he is currently being held on bond.  Toxicology is pending. This is an on-going investigation.

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind – The Evansville Otters (39-55) dropped the opener against the Gateway Grizzlies (55-39) on Friday night, 8-3.

The Otters sent out Parker Brahms, but an early run came home in the first. He got a ground ball and LJ Jones fielded it, tagged first and threw out the runner at home to avoid any further damage.

The offense struggled early and stranded runners at second and third in the third.

After a scoreless frame from Brahms, four runs scored in the bottom of the third to give Gateway a 5-0 lead.

Evansville got lead off hits from Keenan Taylor and LJ Jones before Cohen Wilbanks singled to get the first run of the board. The Otters had runners at second and third but stranded them for the second straight inning.

Brahms worked a scoreless fourth, but allowed a couple two-out runs giving the Grizzlies a 7-1 lead. Jackson Malouf entered and finished the fifth with a strikeout. He also worked a scoreless sixth.

Jones led the eighth off with a double down the third base line and Taylor followed with an opposite field home run to complete his 4-for-4 night.

After Malouf left with the bases loaded, Nolan Thebiay escaped the eighth allowing just one of the inherited runs to score. Evansville couldn’t push across a run in the ninth and fell 8-3.

Along with Taylor’s four hit night, Jones and Graham Brown also had multiple hits in the contest.

Evansville returns to Gateway for the penultimate game of the 2025 season. The game is set for 6:30 p.m. CT tomorrow night.
