Longway was transported to the Vanderburgh County Confinement Center around 3:00 p.m. on October 25th without incident. He is being charged with  Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury, Confinement, and Intimidation.Â
On the evening of October 24th, around 10:20 p.m., Evansville Police Officers were dispatched to a residence in the 1300 block of S Ruston Ave. for a fight and someone who possibly had a gun.

A third suspect, 20-year-old Markus Murphy, was also present for the physical altercation. Murphy is not related to the victim but was an acquaintance. All three suspects used physical force on the victim and he was knocked unconscious. When the victim regained consciousness, he ran to the kitchen and grabbed a knife to protect himself.

Eagles roll by Miners, 3-1, on Senior Day
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer tied a school record with seven-straight wins after posting a 3-1 win over Missouri University of Science on Senior Day Sunday afternoon at Strassweg Field. The Screaming Eagles go to 9-4-2 overall and 7-4-1 GLVC, while the Miners are 6-5-3, 5-4-3 GLVC.
USI took command early with a goal by senior forward Keely Thompson (Terre Haute, Indiana) at 6:08. Thompson was assisted on her first goal of the season by senior forward Katlyn Andres (Louisville, Kentucky).
The Eagles got their second goal and extended the lead to 2-0 at 41:22 when sophomore defender Alyssa Wright (Sellersburg, Indiana) posted her first goal of the season. Wright shot from the top of the box after Missouri S&T failed in an attempt to clear a USI corner kick.
After USI took the 2-0 lead through the intermission, the Eagles continued to enlarged the margin to 3-0 when senior defender Madeline Weston (St. Peters, Missouri) converted a penalty kick at 64:17. The goal was Weston’s first of the season.
The Miners closed the gap to 3-1 at 65:14, but that would be as close as they would come the rest of the match.
With the win, the Eagles remains sixth in the GLVC standings with 22 points, one point behind the fourth place tie that includes the University of Indianapolis and Lewis University. The top four teams in the GLVC earn the right to host a first round conference tournament match November 7.
UPCOMING FOR THE EAGLES:
USI is on the road for the final two matches of the regular season, traveling to University of Missouri-St. Louis Friday at 5 p.m. and Lindenwood University Sunday at noon. UMSL is 7-6-2 overall and 5-5-2 in the GLVC after a 2-1 win over Lindenwood, who is 4-9-1 overall a 4-7-1 GLVC, this afternoon at home.
USI leads the all-time series with UMSL, 13-12-1, and has won four of the last six matches after last spring’s 0-0 double overtime tie in Evansville. The tie in the spring broke USI’s three-match winning streak over the Tritons.
The Eagles lead the series with Lindenwood, 2-0-0, after a win last spring in Evansville, 1-0. USI took the first match between the two programs, 1-0, in 2019.
