Attorney suspended after OWI conviction
The Indiana Supreme Court has suspended an Indianapolis attorney who pleaded guilty to drunken driving and resisting police.
The Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission filed a “Notice of Finding of Guilt and Request for Suspension†against Breanne Joy Strubinger after she was found guilty last year of operating a vehicle while intoxicated as a Level 6 felony and resisting law enforcement as a Class A misdemeanor. The justices suspended her last week.
A disciplinary complaint was first filed against Strubinger in January, and her suspension will remain in effect until that disciplinary action is resolved or until further order of the court, provided no other suspensions are in effect.
According to mycase.in.gov, Strubinger also pleaded guilty in May 2015 to OWI while endangering a person as a Class A misdemeanor and was on probation when the latest offense occurred.
The full order suspending Strubinger can be read here. The order incorrectly lists her first name as Breanna.

Clarification regarding Do Not Call registrationÂ
|
INDIANAPOLIS –The Office of the Indiana Attorney General would like to clarify a previous news release from earlier today. The total number of telephone number submissions to the Office of the Indiana Attorney General by the Feb.21 deadline was 332,748. After scrubbing that data for duplicate phone numbers, as well as purging invalid numbers, the total count of new phone numbers registered to the Do Not Call list is 224,386. The high volume of telephone number submissions is a product of a new telephone privacy campaign aimed at protecting Hoosiers from phone scams – “Do Not Call/Do Not Answer.†The “Do Not Call/Do Not Answerâ€Â campaign began on Feb. 8 and serves as a blueprint to combat unwanted phone calls from telemarketers as well as criminals trying to scam Hoosiers. The final count of new phone numbers registered (224,386) on the first of four deadlines in 2017 more than doubled the total amount of Hoosiers who registered in 2016, when a total of 94,465 new telephone numbers were registered. Hoosiers who signed up by the Feb. 21 deadline will receive fewer calls from telemarketers beginning April 1. The 224,386 new registrations are the highest total for a single quarter since 2011 when 189,000 Hoosiers registered during the third quarter of the year. Indiana residents who still need to sign up for the Do Not Call list can call 888-834-9969 or visit IndianaConsumer.com. The next Do Not Call list registration deadline is May 16. You may register your information with the office’s Do Not Call list at any time, but the updated lists only become available to telemarketers in three-month increments. Hoosiers who register by the May 16 deadline will begin receiving fewer telemarketing phone calls starting July 1, the next time the list becomes available to telemarketers. |
