Attorney General Curtis Hill Leads Drug Take-Back Effort On Monument Circle

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill today led a drug take-back event dubbed “Take Back the Circle” at which motorists throughout the day dropped off unused, unwanted and/or expired medications at a drive-thru checkpoint on Monument Circle in Indianapolis. The event was a collaborative effort of the Office of the Attorney General, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department and Covanta.

More than 350 pounds of medication, filling 12 large trash bags, were collected at the event for proper disposal.

“Abuse of prescription medicine is a major part of our overall drug crisis,” Attorney General Hill said. “Across the United States, more than 6 million people abuse controlled prescription drugs. Here in Indiana, nearly 1 in 20 Hoosiers report having used opioid pain relievers for non-medical uses, and a majority of abused medication comes from family and friends of users. We’re doing good work whenever we get these drugs out of people’s medicine cabinets and properly discarded.”

The National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, sponsored by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, occurs this year on April 28. Agencies in all 50 states will participate. Learn more about the nationwide program at the DEA’s website.

In Indiana, the Office of the Attorney General continually seeks community partners for the purpose of hosting drug take-back events statewide. Anyone representing a public agency or business interested in getting involved in such efforts may contact Outreach Coordinator Matt Row at Matthew.Row@atg.in.gov.

Florey Sets Single-Season UE Strikeout Mark Against Redbirds

Florey Sets Single-Season UE Strikeout Mark Against Redbirds

Aces Drop A 4-2 Decision in Normal

 NORMAL, Ill. – University of Evansville starting pitcher Morgan Florey tossed another complete game, but four late runs pushed Illinois State to a 4-2 win over the Purple Aces softball team on Saturday at Marian Kneer Stadium.

Florey pitched well for UE (11-26, 4-10 MVC), striking out 10 batters.  In doing so, she broke the program record for strikeouts in a season as her current tally of 220 broke the mark of 216 set by Katie Markle in 20015.

The junior cruised through the first four innings, allowing just one Redbird (17-23, 8-5 MVC) hit.  The UE offense did its job with a single run in the first and third to take a 2-0 lead.  Eryn Gould, who had two hits on the day, did it all in the opening frame.  The freshman hit a leadoff single before stealing second.  After moving to third on a groundout, Gould scored the first run of the game on a Florey single.

Some more leadoff production resulted the Aces second run of the game in the third inning.  Mea Adams hit a double to start the inning and scored when Lindsay Renneisen followed it up with a double of her own.

Illinois State’s offense was limited to one hit through four innings, but found their groove in the fifth and sixth innings, pushing two runs home in both frames to take a 4-2 lead.  Down to its final three outs, the Aces fought to the end.  Toni Galas led the 7th off with a bunt single and moved to third as Gould doubled down the right field line.  After getting the first out, ISU made a pitching change and was able to avoid the jam and take the 4-2 win.

UE had eight hits in the game with Gould and Galas posting two apiece.  ISU scored its four runs on just five hits.

Indiana State is next up for the Aces as the squads will play a Wednesday doubleheader in Terre Haute.

COA to hear argument on IU’s Richmond campus

0

The Indiana Court of Appeals will head East next week to hear oral argument on an Indiana University campus.

Judges John Baker, Mark Bailey and Melissa May will travel to Wayne County on Tuesday to hear Jeremy E. Grimes v. State of Indiana, 32A04-1709-CR-02001 on the IU East campus in Richmond. Jeremy Grimes was charged with multiple offenses after a law enforcement officer found contraband in his vehicle during a traffic stop.

Grimes moved to suppress the evidence found in his vehicle, arguing the seizure violated his state and federal constitutional rights. The trial court denied Grimes’ motion, so he filed an interlocutory appeal.

The appellate panel will hear Grimes’ appeal at 11 a.m. Tuesday in the campus’ Whitewater Hall — Vivian Auditorium, 2325 Chester Blvd., Richmond.

Comprehensive approach to combat opioid addiction by Wendy McNamara

0

State lawmakers took additional steps in the 2018 legislative session to help combat opioid addiction from every angle. From curbing the supply to strengthening enforcement and expanding treatment options, these new laws work to save more lives and end the cycle of addiction.

Before prescribing potentially addictive medications, health care professionals throughout Indiana will begin checking the state’s prescription monitoring system, INSPECT. By consulting INSPECT, pharmacists and doctors will be able to determine if a patient is “doctor shopping” for multiple, simultaneous prescriptions. A similar database, NPLEx, has been instrumental in the fight against meth labs because it tracks and enforces Indiana’s cold medication purchase limits, helping prevent meth cooks from obtaining crucial meth-making ingredients.

Enforcement is key in decreasing the supply of and demand for deadly drugs. Now, those who deal or illegally manufacture drugs that lead to the death of a user can be charged with the highest possible felony.

To better ensure Hoosiers are within an hour’s drive of receiving help, the number of opioid treatment locations will be increased from 18 to 27.

As policymakers continue to address this important issue, we need accurate and data-driven information on the number and location drug overdose deaths. A new law outlines autopsy and data reporting requirements for local coroners when they investigate suspected overdose deaths.

By attacking this public health crisis from every angle, hopefully we can prevent addiction before it starts, keep drug dealers off our streets and get more Hoosiers into lifesaving treatment.
