Evansville Man Arrested for Boating While Intoxicated and Public Indecency (Daviess County)

0

ndiana Conservation Officers are reporting that Robert Troy McCutcheon (48) of Evansville was arrested this past weekend for boating while intoxicated and public indecency on West Boggs Creek Reservoir.  The passenger in the boat, Melissa R. Crane (45) of Bedford was also arrested for public intoxication and public indecency.

Upon stopping the boat for expired registration, Conservation Officers observed the occupants of the boat in the state of nudity.  An investigation determined McCutcheon showed signs of impairment.

Initial blood draw results showed McCutcheon to have a .306 BAC. He was arrested without incident and booked into the Daviess County Security Center.  The Martin County Sheriff’s Office also assisted with the investigation.

The incident took place on Sunday, September 24th 2017 at approximately 6:30pm.

Indiana Conservation Officers remind the boating public that drunk driving laws also apply to watercraft operation.

Conviction for driving a boat while intoxicated can result in fines and costs, loss of driver’s license, and loss of boating privileges. 

Under the Law, criminal charges are merely accusations and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

First impression: Denial of coverage is uninsured vehicle

0

Olivia Covington for www.theindianalawyer.com

Ruling on an issue of first impression, the Indiana Court of Appeals has held that a vehicle that is insured but is denied coverage after an accident is considered uninsured under Indiana statute.

The appellate court reached that decision Monday in the case of Indiana Insurance Guaranty Association v. Carlos A. Smith, 71A03-1703-CT-610. In that case, Carlos Smith and Martin Torres were involved in a car crash in South Bend. Smith was insured by Affirmative Casualty Insurance Company and Torres was insured by ACCC Insurance Company, which denied coverage to Torres based on his lack of cooperation with the accident investigation.

Smith then filed a complaint against Torres and Affirmative, claiming Torres negligently caused him injury and that he was uninsured at the time of the accident. Smith also alleged that under the uninsured motorist provision of his insurance policy, Affirmative was liable for the damages he suffered.

But five days before Smith filed his complaint, an order of liquidation was entered against Affirmative, so the Indiana Insurance Guaranty Association was deemed the insolvent insurer under Indiana Code section 27-6-8-7(a)(2). IIGA intervened in the case and was substituted for Affirmative as the defendant.

IIGA moved to dismiss the case, arguing ACCC’s denial of coverage did not make Torres uninsured under Indiana law or the Affirmative policy. The St. Joseph Superior Court denied that motion, prompting the instant appeal.

On appeal, IIGA argued Torres was not uninsured, so Smith did not have an actionable claim against Affirmative from which he could recover damages. But in a Monday opinion, Indiana Court of Appeals Judge John Baker wrote, as a matter of first impression, that a “tortfeasor vehicle that had its coverage denied falls within the category of ‘motor vehicle(s) not otherwise in compliance with the financial responsibility requirements,’” language used in the statute governing uninsured motorist vehicle coverage, I.C. 27-7-5-4(a).

“In other words, following a denial of coverage, a tortfeasor vehicle cannot be in compliance with our statutory financial responsibility requirements,” Baker wrote. “We therefore interpret the statute’s definition of ‘uninsured motor vehicle’ to include motor vehicles that had liability insurance at the time of an accident but that were later denied coverage.”

“(U)nder the circumstances with which we are presented here, denying coverage to a motorist under his own insurance policy because a tortfeasor’s insurance company denied coverage to the tortfeasor would preclude the motorist from recovering any damages at all from the accident,” Baker continued. “…This result would defeat our General Assembly’s goal of ensuring coverage for motorists.”

The appellate court also found that Torres’ vehicle falls within Affirmative’s definition of an uninsured automobile because the denial of coverage meant Torres did not have insurance from which Smith could benefit. Thus, Smith alleged circumstances in his complaint from which he would be entitled to relief, so the trial court did not err in denying IIGA’s motion to dismiss.

Judge Robert Altice, who concurred in result, wrote in a separate opinion Monday that he would find the definition of “uninsured automobile” in Affirmative’s policy to be ambiguous with respect to whether it includes an automobile that was insured at the time of the accident but was denied coverage. He based that opinion on the decision in Vanguard Ins. Co. v. Polchlopek, 222 N.E.2d 383, 384-386 (N.Y. 1966), but said he would construe the ambiguous language in Smith’s favor.

0
University of Southern Indiana Volleyball hosts Bellarmine University Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Physical Activities Center before embarking on a brief two-match road trip Friday and Saturday.

The Screaming Eagles (3-9, 1-3 GLVC) visit McKendree University Friday at 7 p.m. in Lebanon, Illinois, before traveling to Springfield, Illinois, to take on the University of Illinois Springfield Saturday at 3 p.m.

Live stats and GLVC Sports Network coverage for all three matches can be accessed at GoUSIEagles.com.

USI Volleyball Notes
Eagles fall to Lewis, UW-Parkside. USI suffered a three-set loss to No. 3 Lewis University Friday night before seeing a two-set cushion slip away in its five-set loss to the University of Wisconsin-Parkside Saturday afternoon.

Last week’s leaders. Sophomore middle hitter Elexis Coleman (Joliet, Illinois) and senior libero Shannon Farrell (Munster, Indiana) led USI in its two losses last week. Coleman averaged 2.62 kills per set and hit .277 for the weekend, while Farrell had 5.00 digs per set to pace USI’s back row.

Eagles close to being 3-1 in GLVC play. USI enters the week with a 1-3 mark in GLVC play, but could easily be 3-1 after suffering a pair of five-set losses in the first four matches. The Eagles were up 2-0 in both of those matches.

Record watch. Farrell currently ranks second all-time at USI with 1,559 career digs and is 289 digs away from the all-time mark of 1,848, which is held by former USI standout Kayla Heldman.

GLVC statistical watch. Senior middle hitter Te’Ayla Whitfield (Fort Wayne, Indiana) ranks eighth in the GLVC with a team-high 1.10 blocks per set, while sophomore outside hitter Mikaila Humphrey (Floyd Knobs, Indiana) is ninth in the league with a team-best 3.09 kills per frame. Farrell leads USI and ranks ninth in the GLVC with 4.55 digs per stanza, while freshman setter Casey Cepicky (St. Louis, Missouri) is ninth in the conference with 7.03 assists per set.

Scouting the opposition. Bellarmine begins the week with a 10-2 overall record and a 1-2 mark in GLVC play after falling to UW-Parkside in its only conference match last week; while McKendree has won seven straight matches to grab the top spot in the GLVC Central Division with an 8-3 overall record and a 3-0 mark in league play.

Illinois Springfield starts the week with an 8-5 overall record and a 2-2 mark in GLVC play after going 1-1 in league play last week.

EVSC Announces McCutchanville School Mascot and Colors

0

At tonight’s EVSC School Board meeting, the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation officially announced the mascot and school colors for McCutchanville Elementary School, a new kindergarten through sixth grade school being built on Evansville’s northside. The school’s mascot will be the Mustangs and the school colors will be orange and blue, which matches the long-standing colors of McCutchanville Park.

The mascot and colors were voted on by Oak Hill and Scott students, which will both have students that will be attending the new school. Students at both schools were invited to submit their mascot and color ideas to their school. The schools then traded submissions and each school voted on their favorite mascot and school colors. After both schools voted, the Mustangs and orange and blue were resounding winners.

Out of nearly 90 submissions, seven students asked for the Mustangs to be the mascot and out of those seven, three students also submitted orange and blue as the school colors. All seven students were recognized in front of the EVSC School Board at tonight’s meeting for helping select the mascot and colors.

The new school is slated to open for the 2018-2019 school year. More information on the school’s location, attendance district and more can be found at www.evscschools.com.
