Three Evansville Residents Arrested on Drug Charges, Mother Arrested for Neglect

0

Vanderburgh County – Yesterday afternoon at approximately 4:21, Indiana State Police, US Marshal Service Task Force and Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Department responded to 681 Sweetser Avenue to locate and arrest Jaci McQueen, 22, who was wanted on a Vanderburgh County felony warrant.  When officers entered the residence they found McQueen sleeping in a downstairs bedroom. She was arrested without incident. Officers discovered a plastic bag in her front pants pocket containing five ½ pills that were later identified as Clonazepam and Alprazolam, both Schedule IV Controlled Substances. She also had a syringe in her purse.

There were also two other adults and two children inside the residence. The adults were identified as Kandice Rhodes, 28, and Darian Watt, 28, both residing at the residence. Rhodes’ two children, an 8-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl were also present.  Rhodes was in possession of a small bag of marijuana.

Watt was located in an upstairs bedroom. Officers detected a strong odor of marijuana when they entered the bedroom and observed a small amount of marijuana and several pills on a nearby TV stand. A black safe-box containing 110 grams of marijuana, two boxes of Ziploc baggies and one digital scale was located on Watt’s bed. A local wanted check revealed Watt was wanted out of Vanderburgh County for failure to appear.

All three adults were arrested and taken to the Vanderburgh County Jail. Watt and McQueen are currently being held without bond. Rhodes is currently being held on bond. Rhodes’ two children were released to her grandmother.

BRAUN AND HAMMER TO HOLD A JOINT ” MEET AND GREET”

0
United States Senate Candidate, Mike Braun and Vanderburgh County Commissioner Candidate Steve Hammer will hold a joint public meet & greet at Roca Bar North on Monday, April 16th from 4-7pm.
The two like-minded, conservative southern Indiana businessmen met in December at the Congress of Counties event in Indianapolis and found they had much in common.
Braun and Hammer have similar histories. Both returned to their respective hometowns after completing their college careers. Both started businesses that benefitted their communities with jobs. Both are political outsiders that want to see a change in the way government is run. Both want to see the government make it easier for businesses to start up, expand, or relocate to our local communities.

Neighbor Lacks Case Despite ‘Havoc’ After Home Built On Higher Land

0

Dave Stafford for www.theindianalawyer.com

While agreeing that water flowing from a neighbor’s property after the construction of a new home on higher ground “wreaks havoc” on the property below, a trial court’s decision that the owner of the lower ground has no right of action was affirmed Thursday by the Indiana Court of Appeals.

The dispute in N.G. Hatton Trust v. Robert D. Young and Ellen M. Young, 92A03-1708-PL-1818, arises from a case involving neighboring property on Shriner Lake in Whitley Country in northeast Indiana. The trust has owned a property next to the Youngs’ parcel since 1999. In 2006, the Youngs built a new house on their land further up a hill. They also raised ground on part of their property.

“During and after heavy rains, since the construction of the Youngs’ new home, water flows across their driveway before accumulating in a rock bed. The water then crosses the property line, causing damage to the Trust’s concrete sidewalk and stairs as it travels downhill to the lake. … In addition, fill, including rocks, mud, and sediment, from Young’s construction washed onto the Trust’s property,” Judge Cale Bradford wrote.

In 2011, the trust sued the Youngs, claiming negligence and/or negligence per se, which the Youngs denied. The Youngs also raised the common enemy doctrine that applies to surface water as an affirmative defense.

Whitley Superior Judge Pro Tem Brad Voelz ruled for the Youngs last year. He found that while water and sediment running from their property “wreaks havoc” on the trust’s land next door, it only occurs after heavy rains. Moreover, the Youngs were not “collecting, concentrating, and casting it in a body upon” the Trust’s property. Pursuant to the common enemy doctrine, the Youngs had no duty to construct their home in any different manner, therefore voiding any negligence claim by a trust. The trial court also rejected the trust’s argument that a violation of the zoning ordinance created a private right of action for negligence per se.

The Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court on both conclusions.

“We recognize that the application of the common enemy doctrine, in this case, may appear harsh. However, the law in this area is well-settled,” Bradford wrote, citing Argyelan v. Haviland, 435 N.E.2d 973, 977 (Ind. 1982). The firm defense of the common enemy doctrine noted in Argyelan holds that while the doctrine may inflict hardships, it’s also a well-understood precept that has continued to work satisfactorily if water continues to run downhill.

The panel quotes Argyelan: “Although courts should not be slow to respond to changing conditions, changes in the established law are not warranted simply because it is imperfect.”
