Indiana State Police Partners With DEA For 21st Drug Take Back Day

0

On Saturday, October 23, 2021 the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is sponsoring the 21st nationwide “Prescription Drug Take Back” initiative.  The “Take Back” initiative seeks to prevent prescription drug abuse and theft through proper disposal of prescription drugs.

Collection sites will be set up nationwide for expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs which will be properly disposed of without threat to the environment.  This program is for liquid and pill medications.  Vaping pens without batteries and vaping cartridges will also be taken.  Needles, new or used, WILL NOT be accepted for disposal.  This service is free and anonymous with no questions asked.

This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue.  Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs.  Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet.

In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—pose both potential safety and health hazards.

Once again, the Indiana State Police is pleased to partner with the DEA, and as in the past, unwanted medications may be dropped off at any Indiana State Police Post, except the Toll Road Post.  The event will be on Saturday, October 23, 2021 between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.

To locate the State Police post closest to your home or business, click this link for Indiana State Police on the Map. To find other locations in Indiana or across the U.S. that are participating in the Drug Take Back initiative, click this link to the DEA.

The Drug Take Back events are the safe, popular and responsible way for the public to legally dispose of prescription drugs with no questions asked.

Hormuth claims 3rd place to carry USI Women’s Golfers in Tennessee

USI Women’s Golf finishes in 6th place

MURFREESBORO, Tenn.— University of Southern Indiana Women’s Golf settled for a sixth-place finish out of 16 teams today after a rough second round at the Music City Invitational hosted by Trevecca Nazarene University.

The Eagles had an impressive outing in round one of the invitational shooting 301 as a team and tied for second place entering round two. USI dropped four spots after shooting a 33-over-par 321 on Tuesday finishing with a total score of 622 (+46). The Eagles accounted for the best par 3 average (3.10) and total birdies (21) in the tournament.

Freshman Kylee Hormuth (Wentzville, Missouri) led the Eagles shooting an impressive 36-hole score of 146 in two rounds of play. Hormuth finished at two-over-par (70-76) and placed third out of 95 competitors and trailed the top spot by just eight shots. This marks the second time Hormuth has clinched a top-five finish this fall.

Another top performer for USI was sophomore Katelyn Sayyalinh (Rockford, Illinois). Sayyalinh started off solid shooting a five-over-par 77 and tied for 18th at the conclusion of round one. Sayyalinh was able to clinch a tie for 29th after shooting 13-over-par with a 36-hole score of 157 (77-80) in two rounds of action.

Christian Brothers University won the Music City Invitational with a two-day score of 605, while Franklin Pierce University’s Kesinee Prukmathakul was the tournament medalist after carding an impressive six-under-par 138 (66-72) for two rounds of action.

Murder Investigation 1801 Stinson Ave

4

 On October 19th, around 11:00 p.m., Evansville Police Officers were dispatched to the area of Stinson Ave and James Ave to assist Indiana State Police for a possible kidnapping and murder. Officers from multiple agencies, including EPD, arrived on scene and found out that the incident occurred at 1801 Stinson Ave. The reporter was on scene and told officers that she went to the residence to visit with Heidi Carter. While she was inside the residence, she saw a dead body and ran out of the home to get help. 

Officers located 36-year-old Heidi Carter outside of the home near a vehicle. She told officers that there were several people inside the home. Officers also located a gun on Carter. 

Officers surrounded the home and called out the other residents with loud verbal commands using a loud speaker. A male resident walked out of the home, complied with officers, and told officers that there were other individuals still inside including his two teenage children. He communicated with them by telephone and instructed them to stay upstairs. It was then communicated to all officers on scene that the children were upstairs. 

Over the next 4 minutes, officers continued to yell commands at another male that they could see just inside the doorway. After officers gave numerous loud, verbal, commands, the male disregarded their commands and rushed out of the front door in an aggressive manner. He was holding an object in his hand that he pointed at officers. Officers believed this object was a gun and several officers fired at the suspect to stop the perceived threat. 

Once officers were able to determine that the suspect was no longer a threat, they moved him behind cover to render aid and allow other officers to safely clear the home. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. 

Once officers cleared the home, the two juveniles were located upstairs and were  unharmed. They were safely taken out of the home. Officers located an adult female victim, who had been tied up, shackled, and had visible injuries. She was taken to a local hospital for treatment. 

Detectives obtained a signed search warrant for the home. Another individual was located in the residence but was unfortunately deceased and beyond help. The manner of death appeared suspicious and gruesome. He had been restrained, duct-taped, beaten, and strangled. The identity of the Victim and manner of death will be released by the Vanderburgh County Coroner’s Office at a later time. 

Detectives learned that the male suspect, along with Heidi Carter, murdered the individual who was found deceased inside the residence. They also tied and shackled the female Victim while the male suspect raped her multiple times. Heidi Carter was arrested and booked into the Vanderburgh County Confinement Center for the following charges: Murder, two Counts of Intimidation with a Weapon, Rape, two counts of Felony Criminal Confinement, Assisting a Criminal, Carrying a Handgun without a License, and Abuse of a Corpse. 

After reviewing witness statements, body camera footage, and other video footage, we believe that all officers from the Evansville Police Department, Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office, and Indiana State Police relied on their training and did an exceptional job under extremely stressful circumstances. This appears to be a case of suicide by cop 

Women’s Swimming & Diving Sweeps Valley Weekly Awards

0

ST. LOUIS, Mo. – The University of Evansville women’s swimming and diving team has swept the Missouri Valley Conference Swimmer and Diver of the Week awards this week after an impressive showing against conference rival Valparaiso.

Junior Sarah Jahns (Lilburn, Ga./Parkview) garnered MVC Swimmer of the Week honors this week after a record performance in the women’s 200-yard backstroke.  Jahns lowered her own pool record at Roy and Mary Wyttenbach Pool with a mark of 2:02.54 in the 200 back to win the event by over 13 seconds.  Jahns also took home first place honors in the women’s 200 free with a time of 1:56.38 earlier in the meet.

“This is a well-deserved award for Sarah,” said UE head coach Stuart Wilson.  “She has been great so far this season, especially in her training.  And, that hard work in training is really paying off in meets, which you love to see as a coach.”

Senior Maggie Franz (Mundelein, Ill./Mundelein) took home the MVC’s Diver of the Week honor this week, after she won both the one-meter and three-meter competitions against Valparaiso.  Franz won the one-meter competition with a mark of 229.12, while taking home the three-meter competition title with a score of 228.60.  It was her first competition of the year.

“Maggie opened the year with a very solid performance,” said UE diving coach Dustin Bredemeier. “She has been very focused and driven thus far, and I expect that will continue for her throughout the season.”

The UE women will return to the pool this Saturday when they travel to Normal, Illinois to take on Illinois State.

Aces come home in fifth place

 

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Senior Caitlin O’Donnell picked up the top finish for the University of Evansville women’s golf team while sophomore Mallory Russell had the low round of the day to complete the Charles Braun Intercollegiate at Oak Meadow Country Club.

 

O’Donnell finished the Purple Aces’ home event with an 80 in the final round.  Her final tally of 158 was good for a 10th place tie in the final standings after fin9ishing the first 18 holes with a 78.  The low score for the final 18 on the UE squad belonged to Mallory Russell.  After shooting an 82 in the first round, Russell lowered her tally by four strokes on her way to a 160.  She finished in 16th.

 

After finishing the first 18 holes in a tie, the duo of Alissa McMinn and Allison Enchelmayer did the same on Tuesday.  Both fired off rounds of 83 to begin the tournament before carding scores of 81 on Tuesday.  Both finished with a 164.  Joining them in a tie for 21st was Carly Frazier.  She registered an 85 in the final 18 to tie her teammates.

 

Magdalena Borisova was UE’s top individual finisher.  She tied for 37th in her first college tournament with a 171.  After carding an 86 to open play, she lowered her final on Tuesday by one to an 85.  Taylor Keating was seven spots behind her with a 184.  Her scores checked in at 91 and 93.

 

Evansville took 5th place in the final team standings with a score of 642.  The Aces completed the tournament t just one behind UIC and Western Michigan, who tied for third place.  Green Bay took the team championship with a 618, cruising to an 11-stroke win over IUPUI.

 

Three players tied for the individual win with Ashley Kulka (Green Bay), Shelby Busker (IUPUI) and Alissa Fish (Western Michigan) each completing the two rounds with a 154.   After two playoff holes, Kulka took the championship.  All three of the individuals who tied for the top spot began the playoff on hole #1, parring the hole (4 strokes).  The second hole in the playoff was #18.  Kulka earned another par of four while Shelby Busker and Alissa Fish each had a bogey.

 

The fall season comes to a close in Greensboro, N.C. when the Aces take part in the Grandover Invitational. UE’s final tournament of the fall takes place on November 1-2.
