0

INDIANAPOLIS – Gov. Eric J. Holcomb announced Indiana National Guard Adjutant General Courtney Carr will retire.

“Upon my recommendation, Maj. General Courtney Carr has announced his decision to retire,” Gov. Holcomb said. “I received his resignation letter on Saturday, and I thanked him for his service to our state and country.”

Carr has served as Adjutant General since 2015 and his resignation is effective Friday.

Brigadier General Timothy Winslow will serve as the interim Adjutant General. Winslow is a career Army National Guard aviator and was promoted to brigadier general in May.

The Indiana Army and Air National Guard are reserve components of the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force. During times of national emergency, National Guard members may be called into active federal service by the President of the United States.

During times of peace, the National Guard is commanded by the governor. In its state role, the National Guard assists local law enforcement agencies during emergencies at the direction of the governor. The distribution of soldiers, equipment and facilities across the state allows the National Guard to respond quickly and efficiently to emergencies statewide.

Indiana National Guard Leader Sued Over Retaliation Claim

,
A former contract worker has filed a lawsuit claiming she was retaliated against by the leader of the Indiana National Guard after she reported concerns about his affair with a subordinate.
Shari McLaughlin filed the lawsuit this month in Marion Superior Court against Major General Courtney Carr, Adjutant General of the Indiana National Guard.

McLaughlin began working as a contractor in 2017 and was assigned a mentor who allegedly began a relationship with Carr.

McLaughlin alleges once she came forward with concerns, she was retaliated against with false accusations and intimidation, among other things.  The lawsuit alleges she resigned in 2018 because her work environment “had become too unsafe and toxic.”

Indiana National Guard spokeswoman Beth Houx declined to `comment on the pending litigation.

No attorney is listed for Carr in court records.

This morning at approximately 9:18, Indiana State Police responded to an incident on SR66 east of Epworth Road involving a 2019 Peterbilt tractor and trailer that had leaked an unknown substance onto three other vehicles. When Senior Trooper Seth Rainey arrived he noticed the material that leaked from the tractor-trailer was hazardous and that the material was on the roadway and on several vehicles. Due to the material being hazardous, Ohio Township Fire Department and Warrick EMS was dispatched to the scene and all eastbound lanes on SR 66 between Epworth and Grimm Road were closed. Eventually all lanes between Epworth and Grimm were closed while crews prepared to move the tractor-trailer. All lanes were re-opened at 2:50 p.m.

The chemical involved was Nitriles Liquid Toxic (Polyamide Oligomers). Three drivers and Trooper Rainey were decontaminated at the scene by fire department personnel before being transported to St. Vincent Hospital for precautionary measures. The driver of the semi was not treated. The owner of the tractor-trailer is Time Dedicated Carriers, Rockport, IN.
