Evansville Police are looking for 32 year old QUENTIN ANTOINE CARTER. Carter is wanted for felony domestic violence. A warrant was issued for his arrest on August 14th.
On August 16th, an officer working in the Caldwell Homes area received information that Carter was in the area and was armed with a handgun. The officer spotted Carter walking near the intersection of Linwood and Cross. Based on the information that Carter was wanted for a violent crime and that he was possibly armed, the officer initiated a high risk stop of Carter and a man that was with him.
Despite repeated instructions to keep his hands up and to get onto the ground, Carter made multiple movements towards his midsection. Carter also retreated to the rear of a parked SUV to prevent the officer from being able to observe his actions.
The officer believed Carter was trying to access a weapon from his midsection, but continued to give instructions. Carter moved several times while usi ng the SUV for cover. To the officer, Carter’s movements indicated he was trying to get a tactical advantage over the him and possibly ambush him if he approached the SUV.
The officer kept his distance and eventually sought protective cover behind his own police car.
When the officer did not continue to advance on Carter, he chose to flee on foot. The officer maintained control of the second man and provided information to responding officers.
Carter was last seen running south on Linwood. He was not located that day.
Police are asking anyone who has information on Carter to call 911 or WeTip at 1-800-78-CRIME.

COA Judge Cites To Kenny Rogers In Voided Tax Sale Case
COA Judge Cites To Kenny Rogers In Voided Tax Sale Case
Dave Stafford for www.theindianalawyer.com
A judgment for owners of a property wrongly redeemed after a tax sale was affirmed in part by the Indiana Court of Appeals Wednesday, with Judge Terry Crone appropriating a Kenny Rogers classic to introduce a 31-page decision that reduced the attorney fees and other relief to which owners were entitled.
“Attorneys, like gamblers, should ‘know when to hold ’em [and] know when to fold ’em.’ Instead of walking away from litigation that was essentially over, attorneys representing the owners of property that was sold for nonpayment of taxes racked up thousands of dollars in fees and costs trying to keep (Wiper) from receiving a refund for its tax sale purchase, which had been invalidated,†Crone wrote.
The owners of a Warrick County property that was redeemed after a tax sale but later voided because the deed buyer failed to provide proper notice are entitled to relief the trial court ordered, but not all the legal fees.
Wiper Corp. bought a tax sale deed to property James Zwickel grew up in. Zwickel had moved to Tennessee and was the legal owner, but taxes went unpaid after another owner was supposed to pay them but didn’t. Wiper Corp. President Vinod Gupta purchased the tax sale deed in 2010 and sought a deed to the property, though he failed to provide statutory notice to Zwickel and misrepresented to the court that he had.
Ultimately, the owners sued and won. The trial court entered an order affirming county officials who voided the sale; applying the $6,800 Gupta paid for the tax deed to the owners’ past tax obligations and denying him a refund; barring Gupta from participating in the next county tax sale; and awarded the owners attorney fees of more than $72,000.
The panel ruled the trial court had no authority to deny Wiper a refund for its invalidated tax sale and apply the purchase money to the owners’ tax obligations. Likewise, the trial court abused its discretion in awarding attorney fees after Wiper withdrew its petition for a tax deed. The award of fees is justified only to the point when Wiper ceased a claim of ownership of the property. The owners also waived any claim that the trial court erred by failing to impose sanctions against Wiper’s attorney, Vivek, who is Gupta’s son.
The matter was remanded and the COA ordered a recalculation reducing the amount of attorney fees the owners are entitled to receive from Wiper.
“We are sensitive to the Owners’ indignation at Wiper’s attempt to obtain their ancestral home by less than scrupulous means. And we strongly condemn Wiper’s efforts to deceive the trial court and frustrate the discovery process. But once Wiper finally withdrew its petition for tax deed, the Owners’ counsel no longer had any basis for holding Wiper’s feet to the fire, except perhaps to pursue an independent claim, which they did not do,†Crone wrote.
The case is In re Petition of Wiper Corporation for Tax Deed,Wiper Corporation v. Patricia E. Godwin, Barbara S. Sanders, Joseph Kaufman, James Zwickel, Thad Fischer, Trent Fischer, and Trina Fischer Boden, 87A01-1512-MI-2335.

DUI Checkpoint this Weekend in Support of Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over Blitz
- The Evansville-Vanderburgh County Traffic Safety Partnership will conduct a sobriety checkpoint this Friday, August 18, 2017 from 11:00 pm until 2:00 am.
Law enforcement officers from the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office, the Evansville Police Department and the Indiana State Police will join together to conduct this checkpoint.The location for Friday’s checkpoint was chosen based on local traffic collision data. Analysis of datacaptured in July and August of 2017 indicated that several geographical areas within Vanderburgh County accounted for a disproportionately high number of reported hit and run crashes. The upcoming checkpoint will be located within one of those areas. Hit and run crashes are often the result of impaired drivers who try to avoid arrest by fleeing the scene.
The Evansville-Vanderburgh County Traffic Safety Partnership conducts sobriety checkpoints in an effort to detect and deter impaired drivers (thereby reducing the occurrence of alcohol and drug related traffic crashes). Funding for local sobriety checkpoint operations is provided by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) through a grant from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

IS IT TRUE AUGUST 18, 2017
IS IT TRUE that the Evansville Sports Corporation has a new Executive Director to replace the fellow who left after a short time in April?…the new guys name is Eric Marvin who left a similar position in Columbus, Indiana to accept the position in Evansville?…the Evansville Sports Corporation has seen some success at bringing events of substance to town including the NCAA Division Two Basketball Tournament?…what the ESC has been challenged with is getting any ticket sales of significance to the events they have brought to the Ford Center?…it can be quite demoralizing to play or even attend an event in a 10,000 seat facility and have a whopping 500 fans show up?…it was actually possible stacking the rooms in the new downtown Doubletree with four people each to get all of the athletes and fans for some games into the hotel?…we do wish MR. Marvin much success, but hope he realizes the limitations of the goals he will be charged with achieving?…there is always a Fort Worth or Wichita available if he does a good job of bringing events to town and still gets nearly no crowd in the seats?
IS IT TRUE that there is a statue to honor confederate soldiers who died in Evansville in the Oak Hill Cemetery?…it has been there for some time and doesn’t glorify any general so we hope that no one gets inspired by the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia or the mob that toppled a statue in North Carolina?…the Evansville statue has been there for a long time and has not been the target of any outrage?…if the statue really causes any outrage into any of our good citizens then let’s move it to the museum, but otherwise let’s continue to leave it where it is along with the headstones of many other individuals who died in the civil war who are buried in Evansville’s cemeteries?

Notter is tapping into Twitter trying to get big names to drop in. “I’ve already tweeted Tom Hanks, actually, maybe he’ll show up, who knows, but we’re definitely going to source as much as we can,†said Notter.
