EPD investigating two overnight robberies
DON’T GO TO COURT ALONE. CALL IVAN ARNAEZ @ 812-424-6671.
At 3:00am, a white male entered the store wearing a ski mask. He told the clerk he had a gun, but did not show one. He demanded money and left with an unknown amount of cash from the register.
At 5:00am, a white male entered the Circle S at 5230 N 1st Ave. He was also wearing a ski mask. He handed the clerk a note demanding money, but left without getting any after the clerk told him they could not open the register.
The suspect description in both cases and the close proximity of the two incidents leads investigators to believe that the cases are connected. At this time, there is no video available to police.
Anyone with information about these robberies is asked to call EPD at 812-436-7979 or WeTip at 1-800-78-CRIME.

Also, students must have participated in at least 75 percent of the regular-season matches or played in the league tournament.

IS IT TRUE November 26, 2015
IS IT TRUE that County Council member Tom Shelter Jr at yesterday Council meeting claimed that County Recorder Z Tuley had mismanaged public funds by not bidding out contract work and spending money on office furniture? …he charge that this practice caused Z Tuley a cash flow issue?  …we wonder if Ms. Tuley is the only City or County Department head that bought office furniture or awarded a contract without a competitive bid?
IS IT TRUE that we wonder if County Council member Tom Shelter Jr moving business has done any work for the City or County without submitting a competitive bid?
IS IT TRUEÂ Its time that County Council member Tom Shelter Jr stop being disrespectful and a political bully towards the highly respected County Recorder Z Tuley?
IS IT TRUE we are amazed that County Council President Angela Koehler-Lindsey made Z Tuley give her a copy of her speech so she and fellow County Council members could vet it during a quick break?  …Ms. Koehler-Lindsey demand that they be allowed to vet Z Tuley speech is not only a direct violation of Z Tuley First Amendment Constitutional Rights and censorship at its worst?  …that Koehler-Lindsey should be ashamed of herself?
IS IT TRUE its obvious that the City County Observer should spend more time in monitoring the activities of the Vanderburgh County Council?
IS IT TRUE do you have any IIT questions you would like to ask today?
IS IT TRUE please take time and vote in our new “Readers Poll”? Â …todays question is; “Do you feel that County Councilman Tom Shelter, Jr should stop being disrespectful towards County Recorder Z Tuley”?
IS IT TRUE we wish you and yours a “HAPPY THANKSGIVING”?
