The Evansville Otters Send Josh Allen to the St. Paul Saints of the American Association

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The Evansville Otters have finalized a deal to send the second baseman Josh Allen to the St. Paul Saints of the American Association, ending a four-year stay in Evansville. In return, the Otters received catcher Michael Rizzitello and a player to be named later from the Saints.

“As tough as it is to trade Josh, we realize it’s the best thing for him as a player,” Otters manager Andy McCauley said. “He had nothing left to prove in the Frontier League and will now take on the challenge of the American Association.

“He will be playing for a great manager in George Tsamis in one of the finest ballparks in independent baseball after Bosse Field.”

Allen, a Fort Meade, Fla. native, leaves the franchise as the all-time leader in triples (19), stolen bases (76) and hit by pitches (51).

He is second in several other career statistical categories; including games played (347), at-bats (1,222), hits (374), doubles (70), RBIs (171), runs (261) and total bases (596).

Allen is third in career home runs and walks with 38 and 191, respectively.

His best season in Evansville came in 2016 when he set a single-season franchise record with a .354 batting average in earning the FL Most Valuable Player award. He also set the season record for doubles that year, finishing with 34.

“We wish Josh the best and will always remember his toughness, his timely hits, and his stellar defense,” McCauley said. “His records will last for a long time.”

With Allen, Evansville made the playoffs three times and won the 2016 Frontier League title.

A Frontier League All-Star selection in 2014, 2016 and 2017, Allen joined the Otters in 2014 after playing collegiately at the University of West Florida.

The Evansville Otters are the 2006 and 2016 Frontier League champions. Season tickets and group outing packages are on sale now for the upcoming 2018 season. For more information, visit evansvilleotters.com or call 812-435-8686.

AG Curtis Hill Announces Settlement Following Alleged Environmental Violations At East Chicago Plant

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill announced today a multi-million-dollar agreement to address alleged violations of environmental regulations at an East Chicago energy plant that produces coke, a solid fuel made by heating coal. The alleged violators are SunCoke Energy Inc.; its subsidiary Indiana Harbor Coke Company; and Cokenergy.

Under the terms of the agreement, the energy companies will pay $5 million in civil penalties – to be divided evenly between the State of Indiana and the U.S. federal government. Moreover, the agreement includes a lead abatement project at Indiana schools, day-care centers and/or other buildings where owners are unable to afford lead abatement work. Priority will be given to facilities with young children or pregnant women. Cokenergy will implement this project and must spend at least $250,000 in qualified costs for the project.

“We fight every day to protect the safety of Hoosiers and their families,” Attorney General Hill said. “This agreement goes a long way to protect Hoosiers and their families in Northwest Indiana and the East Chicago community.”

Involved in the negotiations and settlement were the Office of the Indiana Attorney General, Indiana Department of Environmental Management, U.S. Justice Department and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The companies allegedly violated state environmental regulations in addition to the federal Clean Air Act. The alleged violations involve such actions as the illegal emission of waste gases, lead, sulfur dioxide, and particulate matter; opacity exceedances; departures from good air pollution control practices; and various failures in monitoring, measuring, recording, and reporting of operational parameters and performance important to compliance with the air pollution control laws.

Such emissions are the result of leaking coke ovens and excessive bypass venting of hot coking gases directly into the atmosphere. The pollutants leaked have been associated with acid rain and respiratory illnesses, including decreased lung function, aggravated asthma and premature death in people with heart or lung disease. Further, the EPA has stated that lead poisoning is the top environmental health threat in the United States for children ages 6 and younger.

Other requirements of the agreement include rebuilding of coke ovens to fix leaks and more stringent monitoring and testing requirements going forward. When fully implemented, the actions required by the agreement will reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, lead and volatile organic compounds.

“Throughout negotiations, we have appreciated the collaboration of our federal partners toward achieving this positive result,” Attorney General Hill said.

The Consent Decree, lodged in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, is subject to a 30-day public comment period and approval by the federal court. It is attached to this release and also available on the U.S. Justice Department website at www.usdoj.gov/enrd/Consent_Decrees.html.

Ex-Volleyball Coach Faces Federal Child Exploitation Charges

0

Dave Stafford for www.threindianalawyer.com

A former Muncie volleyball coach faces federal child sexual exploitation charges for allegedly having sex with two minors over a three-year period.

Nolan M. Brand, 24, is charged with exploiting two girls under the age of 16, recording sex acts on his phone and storing child pornography on computers and other devices, according to a statement issued Friday by U.S. Attorney Josh Minkler of the Southern District of Indiana. The former Muncie Central High School assistant volleyball coach faces federal charges of sexual exploitation of a child, attempted sexual exploitation of a child and trafficking child pornography.

Brand was arrested by Muncie police in December after a 15-year-old told police she and Brand had sex multiple times at his home and in his vehicle between September and December 2017. The FBI became involved shortly after Brand’s arrest. According to the statement from Minkler, “During the recorded interview, when investigators had stepped out of the room, Brand admitted, ‘Oh my God, I have child porn on me … on my … phone.’  He later whispered, ‘Oh my God, there are pictures … Other girls, oh my God.’”

Federal authorities obtained a search warrant and said they found child pornography including images of the 15-year-old and at least one other alleged victim on Brand’s electronic devices. The images include a second alleged victim who was 15 to 16 years old when they have recorded about four years ago, according to the charging information.

The second victim told authorities Brand “liked his girlfriends on the young side,” and that he had been an assistant volleyball coach at Wapahani High School in Randolph County at the time of her alleged exploitation, according to the federal criminal complaint against Brand. The brand also had been a coach for the Munciana Volleyball Club.

 Minkler said in announcing the charges that Brand’s relationship with the first victim became sexual after the two began communicating via Snapchat and that both victims said the sexual images were recorded at Brand’s urging.

“This Office has sent a consistent message when it comes to the exploitation of children,” Minkler said. “When individuals abuse their position of trust to prey on children, they will feel the full force of the federal hammer.”

“This charge illustrates our commitment to protect our most vulnerable citizens, our children, from those who use a position of trust and authority to exploit them,” said W. Jay Abbott, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Indianapolis Division. “The FBI will continue to work diligently with our law enforcement partners to identify and hold accountable those who prey on children.”

“I am grateful for the strong working relationship the Muncie Police Department has with our federal law enforcement partners,” said Chief Joe Winkle. “Because of this relationship, Muncie-area residents are safer.”

Brand remains in the custody of the US Marshal Service. His detention hearing is scheduled for Wednesday. The case is United States of America v. Nolan M. Brand, 1:18-mj-71.

Holcomb Statement on Extending the Education Period for CBD Oil

0

Governor Eric J. Holcomb offered the following statement today regarding his decision to extend the state excise police education period for CBD oil products as well as the moratorium on issuing citations or removing CBD oil products from retailers:

I said back in November that I was open to extending the education period on CBD oil products to give legislators the time they need to add clarity to Indiana law. Lawmakers have indicated they would like more time to consider proposed legislation. For that reason, I am extending the education period for CBD oil products and the moratorium on issuing citations or removing products from retailers until the legislative session concludes.
