Head Coach of the Evansville Thunderbolts Arrested For Drunk Driving
Head Coach of the Evansville Thunderbolts Arrested For Drunk Driving
JANUARY 19TH, 2019
PAUL WILCOXEN EVANSVILLE, INDIANA
Ian Patrick Moran, 46, was booked at 5:13 this morning in the Vanderburgh County Jail.
According to the affidavit, at 2:33 a.m., a Vanderburgh County sheriff’s deputy was stopped at the intersection of Stockwell Ave. and the Lloyd Expressway when a gray Ford Edge approached the deputy from behind at a high rate of speed.
The deputy followed the vehicle through the intersection, having to accelerate up to 75 MPH to catch up.
While following the Edge, the deputy observed the vehicle traveling in the left lane, crossing the fog line and going toward the concrete median, but corrected before making contact.
The affidavit also states that, once the deputy approached the vehicle from the passenger side, he could, “smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from the vehicle.â€
Moran told the deputy that the reason he was swerving was that he was on his phone, but when he reached for his glove box, “his fingers fumbled around before being able to open the compartment.†The deputy asked Moran how much he had to drink and he replied, “not much.â€
After Moran admitted to the deputy that he was drinking, he agreed to a Standardized Field Sobriety Test.
“Ian was unable to maintain the starting position as I gave him instructions,†the affidavit noted. “Ian started the test before I instructed him.â€
Moran was also asked to stand on one leg but swayed side to side before placing his foot down. The test ended before the allotted 30 seconds due to safety concerns for Moran.
Moran was offered a portable breath test and a chemical test and refused both. At that point, Moran was placed in handcuffs and put in the back of the patrol car. Once at the Confinement Center, Moran again refused the take a chemical breath test.
Bond has not been set.
This story will be updated when more information is available.
CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?
CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?
GAVEL GAMUTÂ By Jim Redwine
January 03, 2019 Dutch astronaut and physician, Andre Kuipers (1958-), fumbled his telephone and dialed 911 instead of 011 for an international call. This caused quite an emergency scramble. Hopefully Dr. Kuipers is not a surgeon.
There are numerous problems with this event. First, did you even know there were Dutch astronauts? I did not. Where is their space program? Do they use environmentally sanctioned wind power from gigantic windmills instead of rockets or perhaps methane gas from vast fields of decomposing tulips?
Who was Andre calling? Was he wanting to order a Dutch fast food delivery, french fries with mayonnaise (ugh!) maybe or a fried sausage such as a frikandel? How was it going to be delivered to the International Space Station (ISS)?
Do Dutch astronauts wear klompen/wooden boots and must they leave them outside the space station? Are the Dutch involved in the space race because of their interest in the hypothetical canals to maybe be found on Mars? Ever since Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli (1835-1910) postulated he had discovered canals on Mars and American astronomer Percival Lowell (1855-1916) wrote his book Mars and Its Canals countries have been interested in finding out if there was, and maybe is, some advanced civilization on Mars. Maybe the Dutch are curious.
I was not aware there is a fairly normal means of telephone communication from space to Earth. All ISS calls are routed through Houston before making further AT&T connections. Don’t you wonder where they put the poles and towers? According to the news reports of Kuipers’ accidental call, the connection from ISS to Earth was amazingly good and clear. Well, Gentle Reader, let me tell you our AT&T line in rural Posey County is about as reliable as two tin cans and a string. How come one can phone to and from thousands of miles in space without hearing “Houston, we have a problem†when Peg and I frequently cannot call our neighbors across Durlin Road?
Another question Andre Kuipers erratic phone call raised is, does the space station get robo calls asking about their credit cards or their health status? Are they only free from these infuriating interruptions when they are on the dark side of the moon? Can they put the ISS on a Do Not Call List?
Anyway, these are a few of the deep, perplexing thoughts I have been having while worrying if the astronauts are suffering from cabin fever or are simply lonely for contact with the rest of us 8 billion humans? However, I must now return to Earth as Peg is demanding I run into New Harmony and order a pizza at the Yellow Tavern. She said she tried to call it in but couldn’t get a connection!
