Candy is a 3-year-old female brindle hound mix. She was adopted from VHS, went to live in Owensboro, and then found as a stray there. Her family hasn’t come for her. She’s social, sweet, and would do well in just about any home with older children. Her adoption fee is $110 and she’s already spayed, microchipped, and ready to go home today!

Breaking News: Suspect With History Of Violence Against Police Officers Identified As Man Injured In Police Action Shooting
The suspect who assaulted and tried to disarm an Evansville Police officer has been identified as 47 year old VINCENT BUFKIN.
Two officers were attempting to investigate a battery and trespassing complaint when Bufkin attacked them. Bufkin struck both officers and tried to disarm one of the officers before being shot. Bufkin was shot in the area of his shoulder and is still hospitalized under police guard.
Bufkin has a history of violence against Evansville Police Officers.
On April 16th, 2008 he was arrested for Felony Battery on Law Enforcement when he attacked an officer during a narcotics investigation. During the ensuing fight with officers, Bufkin bit an officer’s finger.
On May 24th, 2013, Bukin violently resisted an officer who was trying to arrest him on a felony warrant. In the arrest affidavit, the officer reported that he could feel Bufkin tug on his belt. The officer had to receive help from a citizen to try and gain control of Buf kin. At one point during the fight, the officer tried to prevent Bufkin from getting a knife from his pocket. When he grabbed Bufkin by the wrist, he bit the officer on the arm. Additional officers arrived and were able to get Bufkin into handcuffs.
In addition to his violence against police officers, Bufkin was arrested by Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Deputies for threatening to kill then U.S. Congressman, and former Vanderburgh County Sheriff, Brad Ellsworth. That arrest took place on June 20, 2009.
The investigation into the police action shooting is ongoing. No additional information is available for release at this time.
FOOTNOTE: All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
EPD Is Attempting To Identify Suspects In Lowes Theft.
The Evansville Police is attempting to identify two male suspects in a theft from Lowes on Evansville’s east side. Theft occurred in December.
Still framed images show that the individuals entered the store and purchased an iRobot vacuum cleaner. The suspects then returned to the store and grabbed another iRobot vacuum and began to exit the store.
The suspects showed the previous receipt for the actual purchased vacuum to a store attendant to pass it off as a lawful purchase. If you have any information on the suspects’ identity contact EPD or the We Tip Hotline at 1-800-78-CRIME.
Evansville Police Are Attempting To Identify Auto Suspects In December Theft Of Cadillac.
