Arrests Made in Copper Theft

0

On September 28th at 5:30 p.m. officers were dispatched to a theft in progress at a closed downtown business that is currently a construction site. A concerned citizen called 911 and reported that a male, wearing a brown hoodie and mask, was there stealing copper wire.

Within minutes of being dispatched officers arrived on scene and located 29-year-old Jon L. Kuhr within the fence of the worksite. Kuhr had wire cutters, other tools consistent with  removing copper, and a loaded firearm.

Officers then located and detained 25-year-old Angel E. McKinney. A bag containing copper wiring was found nearby and McKinney admitted that her and her fiancé were there stealing copper.

A truck registered to Jon Kuhr was located nearby and more firearms and copper wiring were found inside the vehicle.

Copper is a metal that is used in various fields including building construction, roofing, and plumbing. Thieves steal the metal to sell it to scrap yards for money. Kuhr and McKinney were charged with burglary, a level 5 felony, and booked into the Vanderburgh County Confinement Center.

The Evansville Police Department would like to thank the concerned citizen who called 911 when they observed suspicious activity and our officers for their quick response and great

police work.

COMMUNITY COME TOGETHER TO PRAY FOR MATT REDD AND FAMILY

OCTOBER 1, 2024

After the City-County Observer called for “Prayer warriors”, over well 100 people came together on the Deaconess Hospital campus to support and pray for Matthew Redd and his family. Redd was the survivor of the car crash that took the life of Clinton Keown and remains in the ICU.

Matt’s wife, Andrea, and his brother, Jeremy, attended the vigil and addressed the crowd to update the crowd on Matt’s progress. “He started opening up an eye,” Andrea told the group, “He’s starting to move his legs a little bit, so those are all wins.”

The family expects Matt’s road to recovery to be long, but they have been encouraged by the community’s response. Andrea said that “there are miracles taking place.”

A GoFundMe account has been set up for the family. Click here to donate.

Harvest season is here; tips to help Hoosiers safely navigate around farm equipment on the roads

0
HT Nikon 2016

Harvest season is officially underway for Indiana’s 94,000 farmers, which means more slow-moving farm equipment will be on Indiana’s rural roads and highways. To keep Hoosiers safe this year, state agencies are asking motorists to be alert and patient as they share the road with farm equipment this fall.

In 2022 four vehicles were involved in crashes with farm equipment in Indiana which resulted in one death, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The following list includes several safety tips for motorists approaching large farm equipment:

  • Be alert. Farm equipment is wide, sometimes taking up most of the road.
  • Be careful when passing. Do not pass in a designated “No Passing Zone” or within 100 feet of any intersection, railroad grade crossing, bridge, elevation structure or tunnel.
  • Avoid tailgating, as some farm equipment might have to make sudden stops along the road.
  • Allow plenty of time to get to a destination, be aware of alternate routes and avoid distractions.
