Adam Wing Inks Deal With Kitchener-Waterloo Titans
Adam Wing Inks Deal With Kitchener-Waterloo Titans
Wing to be in training camp in December
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – After being a starter for more than three of his four seasons with the University of Evansville men’s basketball team, Adam Wing will take his career to the next level as he signed a deal with the Kitchener-Waterloo Titans of the National Basketball League of Canada (NBLC).
“As a kid, the ultimate dream is to say you have played professional basketball,†Wing said. “It has always been a dream of mine and there will be a day where I can tell my kids and grandkids that I played professional basketball and was healthy enough to do so.â€
The Titans enter their first year of play in the NBLC and are one of 10 teams in the league. Wing will be on the training camp roster when it begins in early December and is competing for a roster spot on the squad going into the regular season.
“My goal was always to come to Evansville and make it to the NCAA Tournament, growing up that was always my goal,†Wing continued. “My other goal was to continue playing basketball as long as I can. Coming from Morehead, Ky., there are not many people that get the opportunity to play at the professional sports, so it means a lot to make my home town proud.â€
Kitchener-Waterloo is located in the Canadian province of Ontario. The metropolitan area is just over an hour west of Toronto.
NBLC play commences in late December with the playoffs wrapping up in mid-June.
Court Divided Over Stop Of Man In Movie Theater
Court Divided Over Stop Of Man In Movie Theater
Jennifer Nelson for www.theindianalawyer.com
By a 2-1 vote, the Indiana Court of Appeals reversed the denial of an Indianapolis man’s motion to suppress a handgun found on him after officers questioned him in a lobby of a movie theater. The majority ruled the officers had no reasonable suspicion to justify the investigatory stop.
Indianapolis police officers Jason Palmer and George Stewart responded to a call from a cab driver who said a passenger dropped a handgun when exiting the cab at Studio Movie Grill. He indicated he was fearful of being robbed, but the driver left the scene before officers arrived. The driver gave a description of a black male wearing a blue jacket who was with a black female with blonde hair.
The officers saw a woman matching that description walk away from Thomas Pinner, who matched the male’s description. The officers approached Pinner, who was alone on a bench in the lobby, told him there was a report of a man with a gun and asked if he had a gun on him. Pinner denied having one, but was hesitant to answer. When officers asked him to stand, Palmer saw a butt of a gun in his front pocket. Pinner was arrested when Palmer discovered he didn’t have a license to carry.
The Class A misdemeanor carrying a handgun without a license charge was elevated to a Level 5 felony due to a prior commission of a felony. Pinner filed a motion to suppress, and the trial court denied it, finding the officers had reasonable suspicion to approach and question Pinner.
On interlocutory appeal, the Court of Appeals reversed. The majority found it was not a consensual encounter where Pinner would feel free to get up and walk away. Two armed officers did not make small talk and stood in front of him as they asked him questions, Judge Melissa May wrote. This was an investigatory stop, which required reasonable suspicion. Mere possession of a firearm, which is legal, cannot produce a reasonable suspicion to justify a Terry stop, she wrote. The state presented no evidence as to why the police believed Pinner’s possession of the gun was illegal or that other criminal activity was afoot.
Judge Elaine Brown dissented, citing a recent Mississippi case, U.S. v. Scott, 2015 WL 450864 (S.D. Miss. July 24, 2015), which was affirmed by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. In Scott, officers responded to an anonymous tip that drugs were being sold in a specific spot in a high-crime area. Officers saw Scott acting nervously and adjust his waistband. He was told he did not have to leave. When Scott lifted his arms, officers saw a gun in his waistband. The court held a seizure did not occur until the gun was discovered.
But the majority pointed out that Pinner was alone in a movie theater lobby, not acting in any manner consistent with illegal activity. Also, Scott had room to walk away whereas Pinner could only exit by standing and walking between the two officers who had already asked him pointed questions.
The case is Thomas Pinner v. State of Indiana, 49A02-1511-CR-2036.

Dr. Bucshon Helps Host Chief of Naval Operations Admiral John Richardson at Crane
| (WASHINGTON, D.C.) –On Tuesday, Eighth District Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. helped host U.S. Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Admiral John Richardson during his first trip to Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Crane Division in Crane, Indiana.
The purpose of Admiral Richardson’s visit was to highlight Crane as a world leader in cutting-edge technological development critical to our country’s national defense. NSWC Crane is the third largest U.S. Navy installation in the world and the third largest employer in Southwest Indiana employing approximately 5,000 civilian personnel.
“Crane plays a critical role in supporting the best-trained, most well-prepared, and strongest warfighters that make up the U.S. military and it is absolutely critical that we tell Crane’s story,â€Â said Bucshon. “I’m happy to have helped host Admiral Richardson’s first visit and I’m honored to represent the dedicated men and women at Crane.†Here are some key takeaways from Admiral Richardson’s visit: ·         Congressman Bucshon acknowledged the importance of Admiral Richardson’s visit to Crane: “This is an important visit. I’d like to thank the CNO for being here and seeing the amazing work that’s done here by Hoosiers and the commitment they have to the mission and the warfighters protecting this country.â€Â (Washington Times Herald; 8/24/2016) ·         Admiral Richardson saw firsthand the exceptionalism and dedication of the Hoosier workforce: “This was a great day, not only to see the supreme talent that’s resident here, but also to see the dedication of the people here. They will go to the last molecule of their energy to make our nation safer and to bring our people back safe and sound.â€Â (Washington Times Herald; 8/24/2016) ·         Crane is a national leader in the research and development of cutting-edge technologies:“They [Crane] have a micro-environment of very fast learning, very fast technology improvement and they have found clever ways to make them real here on the Crane facility and then get them into the hands of the warfighters around the world. That’s part of the remarkable thing they do here at Crane; not just the generation of ideas and technology, but the distribution into the hands of our sailors very, very quickly.â€Â (Washington Times Herald; 8/24/2016) ·         Admiral Richardson plans to use Crane as a blueprint to help the Navy streamline the movement of new technologies from the development phase to battle-ready use: “My impression is how do I take what I see here at Crane and scale that up and get the whole Navy to move at that speed.â€Â (Washington Times Herald; 8/24/2016) |
