Deputy Narrowly Escapes Serious Injury after being Run Over by Fleeing Shoplifter

0
A Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office deputy was injured after being struck by a vehicle driven by a fleeing shoplifter.

On Saturday, September 08, 2018 at 9:06 PM a sheriff’s deputy was working a uniformed off-duty job at Eastland Mall when a 911 call came in regarding a shoplifter who fled from Zumiez. Mall security directed the deputy to the suspect’s vehicle in the parking lot. The deputy observed the white sedan driving without headlights and attempted to stop the vehicle in the parking lot of the nearby Wendy’s.

After activating his emergency lights, the suspect vehicle came to a stop. When the deputy exited his vehicle, the sedan began to drive away. The vehicle continued a short distance before driving over a curb and into a grassy section of the parking lot. The deputy approached the open window of the vehicle and began shouting commands to the driver. The deputy then observed the driver fumbling with something in the area of the center console and passenger seat area. The deputy attempted to remove the key from the ignition, but the suspect placed the gear selector in reverse and accelerated, dragging the deputy with the vehicle. The deputy was thrown onto the vehicle’s hood and then onto the pavement next to the front left tire of the vehicle. The vehicle tire ran over the deputy’s foot. The vehicle continued in reverse where it struck the parked Sheriff’s Office vehicle with enough force that it moved the parked vehicle approximately five to ten feet. The suspect’s vehicle continued moving and struck a second parked vehicle occupied by an uninvolved party.

The suspect, Ms. Marilyn Elaine Cosby, was then taken into custody without further incident. She was transported to the Operations Center for an interview before being booked into the Vanderburgh County Jail. The vehicle was searched prior to tow and several clothing items with price tags and security devices still attached were found.

The deputy was evaluated at St. Vincent Hospital where he was treated and released. The deputy complained of pain from abrasions to his right arm and right lower leg, but returned to duty upon his release. The deputy was wearing safety toe boots, which were credited with preventing serious injury to his foot.

ARRESTED:

 

Marilyn Elaine Cosby (pictured above), 58, of Henderson, KY. Shoplifting as a Class A Midemeanor, Battery on Law Enforcement as a Level 5 Felony, Resisting Law Enforcement as a Level 6 Felony, Criminal Recklessness as Level 6 Felony, Possession of a Legend Drug as a Level 6 Felony

Presumption of Innocence Notice: The fact that a person has been arrested or charged with a crime is merely an accusation. The defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty in a court of law.

“IS IT TRUE” SEPTEMBER 10 2018

7

We hope that today’s “IS IT TRUE ” will provoke honest and open dialogue concerning issues that we, as responsible citizens of this community, need to address in a rational and responsible way?

IS IT TRUE we are hearing that several Evansville City Councilmen and taxpayers are disappointed with Mayor Winnecke for not holding public hearings concerning the design, costs, and location of the proposed the $28 million dollars Deaconnes Aquatic Center at Garvin Park?  …that some people are now saying that the Mayor has seemly adopted a benevolent dictator style of managing City Government?

IS IT TRUE that last week we predicted that the Mayor will stack the City Council Chambers at this evening City Council meeting with supporters of the proposed $28 million dollars Deaconess Aquatic Center at Garvin Park?  …when the Mayor makes his public pitch to City Council this evening to build the Deaconess Aqua Center at Garvin Park we hope that they will ask him to give them a detailed breakdown on the legal agreement made between him and Deaconess Hospital concerning the naming rights of this projects?

IS IT TRUE we hope that Mayor Winnecke will also give City Council detailed information concerning the role that EVSC is going to play in the development of the Deaconess Aquatic Center at Garvin Park?

IS IT TRUE we still stand by our prediction that once the $28 million Deaconnes Aquatic Center is finished Mayor Winnecke will sign a contract with the local YMCA to manage the new Aquatic Center at Garvin Park?  …we hope that this evening the Mayor will provide City Council with detailed information concerning the financial commitments he made with the officials at the YMCA to manage the Deaconess Aquatic Center once it is built?

IS IT TRUE that “Jacobsville Join In” is sponsored by ECHO Housing and received their operating funds from the Evansville DMD?  …recently they closed their North Main Street offices without fanfare?…we hope the reason for the abrupt closing of “Jacobsville Join In” office located on North Main Street didn’t have anything to do with the current “Forensic Audit” being conducted at ECHO Housing Corporation?  …it’s time for the officials at DMD and ECHO Housing Corporation to come forward and make a public statement concerning this issue?

IS IT TRUE we are told when Mayor Winnecke didn’t allow his Deputy Mayor to publically welcome the President of the United States to Evansville recently it really hurt the credibility of his Deputy Mayor status?

IS IT TRUE we are extremely pleased that Evansville City Council member and well-known animal advocate Missy Mosby took a public stand concerning the cat freezing controversy at the Spencer County Animal Shelter? …we commend Ms. Mosby for contacting the Spencer County Sheriffs Department and turning over the text messages of the shelter’s workers to the authorities?

IS IT TRUE we are told that Missy Mosby has also contacted a friend in law enforcement and he has handed over pertinent information concerning the Spencer County cat freezing controversy over to the Indiana State Police? …we are also been told that letters and newspaper articles have been turned over to officials of the state and national Humane Society and PETA? …Ms. Mosby has declared that she won’t stop fighting for the humane treatment of animals? …we give five (5) cheers to Missy Mosby and her supporters for standing up for the humane treatment of animals and their rights?

IS IT TRUE that the McCurdy Hotel water bill and sewer issue has been out of the news lately? …we know like to if this $1.5 million water and sewer bill have been paid or if a settlement has been made?

IS IT TRUE that Evansville City County Attorney Joshua A. Claybourn writes an interesting blog entitled “Finding Our Sense of National Identity”…we highly recommend that you read it because it’s extremely informative?

IS IT TRUE since the revelation that Evansville City Controller Russ Lloyd Jr., CPA hasn’t paid the $369,000 in Victory Theater bills for 2017 we wonder if he has taken the $369,000 from the 2018 city budget to pay for the operating expenses of the Victory Theater for 2017?  …we also wonder how City Controller Lloyd is going to find the money to pay for the Victory Theater bills for 2018? …we hope that this question will be asked at the current City of Evansville budget hearings?

IS IT TRUE in all of this hubbub we have also learned that there will be another arena football team coming to Evansville and will be called the Indiana Firebirds?…it is expected that the Firebirds will make Ford Center their home and while we wish them well, Evansville has not been a place that semi-professional football has found financial success?…if the Firebirds can’t draw more paying customers than the Icemen, Thunderbolts, or Bluecats have they are destined for a spot on that list of 50 something pro sports teams that have flamed out in Evansville?…with rents what they are and tickets bringing what they will it will take average paying crowds of 5,000 to have a viable indoor football team?…that is a long shot if there ever was one?

Todays “Readers Poll” question is: Where should the proposed Deaconess Aquatic Center be built?”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: DCS IS A FAILED GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY

0

DCS IS A FAILED GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY

My niece has a daughter who is evil.  She has 2 kids by different fathers.  She’s a drug addict, shoplifter, no job, mean and cruel. Her little baby daughter almost drowned in the bathtub. She just left her in the tub and went to the kitchen to eat.  Thank God my niece was there and heard her choking and saved her life. She has a 7-year-old son too.

In short, my niece’s daughter has spent time in jail. My niece, the boy’s grandmother and the little girl’s grandmother want custody of the kids.  My niece wants the boy and the other grandmother wants the girl.  They both went to court with attorneys in Indianapolis to get custody of the kids.

They went at different times and had two different judges. Both judges would not let the grandparents or their attorney speak. They let my nieces daughter and her drug buddies speak. Course they told a bunch of lies.

DCS just keep giving the kids back to their mother.  This is so wrong, I can’t believe it. DCS continually puts these kids into a drug environment over and over again. To hell with the kids. No wonder DCS has so many lawsuits against them. It amazes me that anyone would even want to work for DCS.

Name Withheld By Request
