Evansville Police arrested 35 year old MICHAEL D WEBB for Voyeurism after investigators caught him peeping into an apartment window around 12:15 Tuesday morning.
Police had been notified of several recent “Peeping Tom” incidents at several east side apartment complexes.
Investigators were conducting a detail in the area of Green River and Covert when they saw Webb crouch down and begin looking into an apartment window. After Webb walked away, investigators determined the apartment was occupied and that Webb could see into the apartment from the window.
Webb, who lives in Otwell Indiana, was taken into custody near his car. Webb has two prior convictions for Voyeurism. He also has prior arrests for resisting law enforcement and has been arrested for failure to register as a sex offender. He is currently in the Vanderburgh County Jail.

Judge incorrectly considered acquitted charges in denying expungement petition

0

Jennifer Nelson for www.theindianalawyer.com

Facts from an incident that do not result in a felony conviction cannot be taken into consideration by a judge when determining a person is disqualified from filing for mandatory expungement of a different felony conviction resulting from the same incident, the Indiana Court of Appeals held Monday.

Johnnie M. Trout Jr. filed a petition in January 2014 for mandatory expungement of Class D felony convictions criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon and pointing a firearm. Those convictions were handed down in 1998. At that time, Trout was charged but not convicted of two other counts, including attempted murder.

The law in effect at the time Trout filed his petition mandates granting an expungement unless a person is convicted of a felony that resulted in bodily injury to another person. The judge, when considering the petition, took into account the attempted murder charge that Trout was not convicted of, in which a victim was accidently shot and injured while reaching for Trout’s gun. The judge did not believe it was appropriate to turn a “blind eye” to the facts of the entire case.

But the statute is clear that the petition for expungement should be denied if Trout had a felony conviction that resulted in a bodily injury to another person. The two charges he was convicted of did not involve bodily injury, Chief Judge Nancy Vaidik wrote in Johnnie M. Trout Jr. v. State of Indiana, 12A04-1409-MI-403.

Therefore, these two Class D felony convictions do not disqualify him from mandatory expungement. And because this is the only basis upon which the state challenged Trout’s petition, the trial court erred in denying the petition. The matter is remanded for further proceedings.

Gibson County – Indiana State Police arrested a 38-year-old Princeton man early this morning after he was rescued from high water.

At approximately 8:50 last night, Gibson County Sheriff’s Department received a 911 call from a person who was stranded in high water somewhere on CR 350 North. Gibson County Sheriff’s Department and Indiana State Police responded to the area to assist in locating the stranded motorist. The search was hindered by high water on CR 350 North and CR 550 West. Officers on scene requested the assistance from the White River/Hazelton Fire Department. While searching on CR 875 West, Troopers Paul Stolz and Brock Buchanan heard a person yelling for help. They were able to determine the stranded motorist was on CR 350 North somewhere between CR 700 West and CR 875 West. The fire department deployed their water rescue hovercraft and eventually found the driver and his passenger approximately one mile west of CR 700 West. The driver and passenger were rescued around midnight. The driver, Garry Jackson, 38, of Princeton, was arrested for criminal recklessness and taken to the Gibson County Jail. Officers also found a glass smoking device with burnt residue inside his vehicle. Jackson’s passenger, Drew Denbo, 19, of Princeton, was cited and released for possessing drug paraphernalia.

Troopers want to remind all motorists the importance of not driving through high water. It only takes six inches of fast moving flood water to knock over an adult. Two feet of rushing water can carry away a vehicle. If you drive to an area that is covered with water, you will not know the depth of the water or the condition of the ground under the water. Don’t risk your life or the lives of your passengers.

Turn Around Don’t Drown.

Rep. Sullivan works for Hoosier motorists

0

 

STATEHOUSE – State Representative Holli Sullivan (R-Evansville) has authored a bill to benefit taxpayers and Hoosier motorists. House Bill (HB) 1362 would extend the amount of time that Indiana is required to reissue license plates. The bill passed unanimously out of the Senate with a 48-1 vote.

 

“I was pleased to see HB 1362 receive such bipartisan support and pass out of the Senate,” said Rep. Sullivan. “This legislation will allow the state to save tax dollars which can then be passed onto consumers.”

 

Currently, license plates must be issued by the state every five years. If enacted, HB 1362 could extend the life cycle of license plates by up to 10 years, which could save the state on average around $10 million per year starting in July 2016.

 

HB 1362 gives the Bureau of Motor Vehicles the ability to set the license plate life cycle at no less than five years, but no more than 10 years. The bill does not change the exemptions for certain plates like municipal or commercial motor vehicles.

 

“With updated technology, license plates are able to withstand more and last longer,” said Rep. Sullivan. “This change would allow Indiana to keep the cost of license plates low while maintaining quality.”

 

HB 1362 now goes to the governor to be signed into law. To learn more about Rep. Sullivan, visitwww.indianahouserepublicans.com.
