Intoxicated Motorist Runs from Sheriff’s Office Only to be Stopped by his Passenger
An intoxicated motorist wanted on a felony warrant fled from a sheriff’s deputy, but his flight was cut short by the actions of his passenger.
On Thursday, October 14, 2016 at approximately 11:15am a Sheriff’s Office K-9 and a Evansvillle Police Department detective assigned to the Joint Drug Task Force initiated a traffic stop on the Lloyd Expressway at the Martin Luther King exit. The vehicle (a blue 1999 Ford Explorer) initially pulled over, but once the deputy exited his vehicle the driver sped westbound onto Division Street.
As the deputy gave chase he observed the suspect run through two red lights and nearly collide with another vehicle. The vehicle eventually stopped on Fulton Avenue at W. Virginia Street. The driver, Mr. Michael Anthony Luttrull, was then taken into custody.
The passengers, Ms. Lori McDade and Ms. Stacey Burton, were detained and eventually arrested on narcotics related charges. Mr. Luttrull was found to have active felony and misdemeanor warrants. Mr. Luttrell admitted to consuming 3/4 of a fifth of bourbon prior to driving. A certified breath test showed Mr. Luttrell’s breath alcohol content to be .124.
During an inventory of the vehicle, a gram of methamphetamine was located. Further information developed during the investigation led to the acquisition of a search warrant for 2200 Jefferson Avenue. More than an ounce of methamphetamine was seized at that location along with nearly $7,000 in currency and a mint condition 2013 Harley Davidson motorcycle.
Deputies later learned that the reason Mr. Luttell stopped fleeing was because of the actions of one of his passengers. Ms. Stacey Burton disabled the vehicle by shifting the transmission out of gear and turning off the ignition during the pursuit.

Election 2016: How to Write-in a Candidate
 As some Americans are unhappy with their choices for president, Google Trends data suggests a record number of people are searching “How to write-in a candidate.â€
However, those numbers aren’t being seen by the Vanderburgh County Election Office.
But in general, the Vanderburgh County election supervisor says, people are excited to vote in this election.
Since opening up early voting on the 12th, they’ve already had 700 early voters and sent out more than 2,700 ballots.
But, if you are unhappy with the Republican or Democrat running for president, you can write in a candidate and it’s fairly simple in Indiana.
“Touch the area where it says write-in,†said John Gerard, Vanderburgh County Election Office Supervisor. “And then a screen’s going to pop in that you just type the name in and you hit accept.â€
Gerard says the only tricky part comes when choosing who to write in. You can’t just write-in anybody. In Indiana you can only choose from a list of candidates registered as Independent or write-ins.
