IBLC TO CONDUCT TOWN HALL IN EVANSVILLE ON SATURDAY

0

The Indiana Black Legislative Caucus (IBLC) will conduct a town hall in Evansville on Saturday (June 2) to give an update on the 2018 session of the Indiana General Assembly and begin preparations for the 2019 legislative session.

The Evansville town hall will be from noon to 2 p.m. local time Saturday at the Greater St. James Community Recreation and Education Center (CREC), 484 S. Governor Street.

“Our annual town hall meetings serve as a chance to tell residents about the legislation that has passed that can have an impact on their lives, as well as the things that haven’t been done,” said State Rep. Cherrish Pryor (D-Indianapolis), IBLC Chair. “In addition, we want to begin preparing for 2019, and the input of people across our state is critical in setting those priorities.”

Pryor emphasized that the town halls are free and open to everyone.

Partnering with the IBLC on the town halls are the Indiana Minority Health Coalition, Indiana Black Expo, Inc., and the Indiana State Conference of the NAACP.

Fort Wayne event, AG Curtis Hill talks of strengthening drug interdiction efforts across Indiana

0

At a press conference today, Attorney General Curtis Hill discussed his ongoing determination to strengthen drug interdiction efforts across Indiana, including a collaboration with the Indiana Drug Enforcement Association (IDEA) to provide funding to regional interdiction teams.

“Enforcement, in addition to prevention and treatment, remains a key component in our efforts to fight the devastating drug crisis gripping Indiana,” Attorney General Hill said. “By increasing interdiction, we are sending the message loud and clear that Indiana is not a safe place for illegally transporting drugs. Criminals need to know they will be caught, they will be arrested and they will be prosecuted.”

Through a $1.25 million grant to IDEA, the Office of Indiana Attorney General is supporting the establishment of highway interdiction teams (HITs) statewide. These teams, comprised of officers and drug-detection dogs, are cracking down on criminals who use Indiana thoroughfares to carry out their nefarious deeds.

“As a matter of prudent policy, Indiana must pursue a strategic, statewide interdiction plan,” said IDEA Training/Operations Director Gary Ashenfelter. “The grant funding being provided to police agencies enables the placement of teams to interdict the flow of illegal substances being transported into our communities.”

The press conference was held at the Allen County Sheriff’s Office, where Attorney General Hill announced that the Allen County Sheriff’s Office and the Fort Wayne Police Department each will receive approximately $50,000.

“Like everywhere else in Indiana, we see here in Allen County a strong correlation between drug trafficking and many other types of crimes,” said Allen County Sheriff David Gladieux. “By taking down drug traffickers, we can keep people safer and neighborhoods more peaceful.”

That sentiment was seconded by Fort Wayne Police Chief Steve Reed.

“Criminals are becoming a lot more sophisticated in their methods, and we as police need to become a lot more sophisticated in ours as well,” he said. “Properly equipping these interdiction teams will help us stay a step ahead of the criminal element, which is always a challenge.”

In the month of April, HITs conducted 273 drug-related investigations. These yielded 16 arrests; 12 pounds of marijuana; a pound of methamphetamine; and pills and cocaine with a street value of more than $65,000. Additionally, a handgun and $16,000 in cash were confiscated.

“A primary objective of any investigation is to collect solid evidence of any criminal wrongdoing that has occurred,” said Allen County Prosecutor Karen Richards. “Boosting interdiction efforts will help us build strong cases against individuals breaking the law and endangering local residents. I support this effort 100 percent.”

Through the grants, a total of eight police cars and five police K-9s have thus far been purchased for agencies to use. Also purchased were tracking software, two-way radios and emergency police equipment such as lights and sirens.

Eight interdiction teams have thus far been beneficiaries of the grants:

  • Allen County Sheriff’s Office and Fort Wayne Police Department
  • Dearborn County Sheriff’s Office and Dearborn County Special Crimes Unit (Prosecutor’s Office)
  • Elkhart County Intelligence and Covert Enforcement (ICE) Unit (Prosecutor’s Office)
  • Evansville Police Department and Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office
  • Kokomo Police Department
  • Lafayette Police Department and West Lafayette Police Department
  • Lake County Sheriff’s Office
  • Porter County Sheriff’s Office

Attached are a map showing locations of the eight interdiction teams and several photos from today’s press conference. (Evidence pictured on the table is marijuana and methamphetamine confiscated during Allen County interdiction efforts.)

Former NDLS clinic administrator sentenced to seven years

0

Marilyn Odendahl for www.theindianalawyer.com

Jennifer Ihns, the former administrator for the Clinical Law Center at the University of Notre Dame Law School, will spend two years in the Indiana Department of Correction for embezzling nearly $200,000 from the clinic.

Ihns, 45, who pleaded guilty to 11 felonies, including theft and forgery, was sentenced to seven years May 25 by St. Joseph Superior Judge Jeffrey Sanford. In addition to the two years incarcerated, five years were suspended to non-reporting probation. She has also been ordered to pay restitution of $199,000 to the university.

In a statement, the University of Notre Dame said, “The criminal justice system has addressed this matter appropriately. Thankfully, there were no adverse consequences for our clients or the center itself.”

Ihns’ attorney, Stanley Wruble, did not return a call seeking comment.

Between January 2009 and June 2016, Ihns conducted more than 200 thefts to enrich herself and more than 95 forgeries to hide her thefts, according to court documents. She wrote and cashed for her benefit 129 unauthorized checks from the clinic’s operation accounting totaling $82,275.23, and 126 checks from the clinic’s Interest on Lawyer Trust Account (IOLTA) totaling $96,300.80.

Ihns started at the legal clinic as a paralegal and office coordinator. Her duties included signatory authority over all the clinic’s bank accounts.

An internal audit in mid-June 2016 by the university discovered evidence of improper handling of clinic funds, court documents stated. Ihns initially denied any wrongdoing, but when confronted with altered checks, she replied, “I did it,” and said all the money was gone.

The audit did not find any evidence of clients suffering financial loss, according to court documents. However, the university paid those clinic clients the amount that appeared appropriate to ensure they were not harmed by Ihns’ conduct.

National Champion USI Softball team homecoming rally set for Wednesday, May 30 at 2 p.m.

0

The University of Southern Indiana will hold a celebration to honor and welcome home its 2018 NCAA Division II National Champion Softball team at 2 p.m. Wednesday, May 30 on the USI campus.

At around 1 p.m. Wednesday, the team will gather at the old Walmart parking lot in the University Shopping Center off University Drive on Evansville’s west side to sign autographed items and prepare for the escort to campus. Weather permitting, the team will ride atop a fire truck and will receive a police escort to the USI campus. (NOTE TO MEDIA: This portion is open to media but not to be publicized to the general public.)

The procession will enter campus from the overpass and continue through the parking lots before arriving in front of the Physical Activities Center (PAC). Fans are encouraged to line up in front of the PAC at around 1:45 p.m. to greet the team as they enter campus. In the case of rain, fans are welcome to gather inside the PAC to welcome the team.

A welcome rally and brief ceremony will take place at 2 p.m. inside the PAC, including a presentation of the National Championship Trophy to the team. Players and coaches will be available for comment and autographs following the celebration, which will include the team, coach Sue Kunkle and assistants, Athletic Director Jon Mark Hall, students, fans, USI President Linda L. M. Bennett, University officials and local dignitaries.

Official 2018 National Championship T-shirts and hats are currently available for order online at the USI Campus Store. Additional order forms will be available at the event.

USI captured its first softball national championship, and the first women’s team national championship in school history, when it defeated Saint Anselm in two straight games on Monday, May 28 in the NCAA Division II National Championship Series Finals in Salem, Virginia. USI is the first collegiate team in Indiana to ever win a national softball championship. Read more at GoUSIEagles.com.
