Anonymous tips lead to a meth bust in New Albany

 

      Today, police found what they are calling a good sized meth lab at a home on Galt Street off of Vincennes Avenue.

The Indiana State police Methamphetamine Suppression Unit assisted with removing the harmful chemicals. 

      4 people arrested and charged after today's bust Shannon Burris, Orvil Thomas, Cynthia Gehlbach and Wayne Coomer. Police say they are still looking for one other suspect in connection with the lab.

      If you have any information in this case you are urged to contact the New Albany Police Department at 948-NAPD.

 

Evansville man facing charges after BAC is 6 times the legal limit

 

      An Evansville man is facing charges after his blood alcohol tested over six times the legal limit.

  
      30-year-old Travis Hornback was pulled over by
Evansville police for suspicion of drunk driving. Officers began administering the field sobriety tests and soon after were forced to stop out of concern for Hornback's safety.

 

      Hornback was taken to the hospital where his blood alcohol level measured point five four six.

 

      After he is released a warrant will be issued for his arrest. Hornback was convicted last week for a DUI that happened in 2009.

Three people arrested after police find meth in residence

      Three people facing charges after Indiana State Police find meth inside a home.

      Thirty-eight-year old Bryan Lomax, 40-year-old Robin Hobson and 45-year-old Troy Moore were all arrested late in Paoli this week.
 
       State police say they found meth, marijuana and other drug paraphernalia at the home of Lomax and Hobson. All three suspects were arrested and transported to the Orange County Jail without incident.

Marijuana eradication efforts underway in Indiana

 

        Indiana state police along with several other organizations have created a program in response to ongoing marijuana growing operations that have been found near state and federally owned property.

The pictures are from the plants grown illegally on properties like the hoosier national forest.

The program works to reduce remove marijuana from these and other areas along with reducing the supply in southern Indian and across the state.

   

       On August 23, the Indiana State Police along with the Indiana National Guard Counter Drug Task Force, DEA, US Forest Service, Civil Air Patrol, Indiana DNR and local law enforcement agencies converged on Southern Indiana to concentrate efforts on illegal marijuana grow operations.  This effort was in response to ongoing intelligence of illegal drug trafficking operations illegally growing marijuana on public property like the Hoosier National Forrest and other remote state and federally owned property. 

 

       This cooperative effort was named "Operation Hoosier Thunder" and its mission was as follows, "For the Indiana State Police, Indiana National Guard Counter Drug Task Force, DEA, US Forest Service, Civil Air Patrol, Indiana DNR and local law enforcement agencies to conduct marijuana detection and eradication operations in the vicinity of the Hoosier National Forest in order to confirm or deny the presence of cultivated marijuana and reduce marijuana supply in the greater southern Indiana area."

 

       Because of the rugged and dense terrain the operation utilized OH-58, and UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters from the Indiana National Guard Counter Drug Task Force, along with other aircraft from the Indiana State Police and the Civil Air Patrol.  Several ground teams also navigated the area and eradicated the marijuana.

 

       Even though efforts were concentrated in the southern part of the state, marijuana eradication efforts have been ongoing statewide.  Statewide during the operation there were approximately 19,000 plants eradicated with an estimated street value of $47,500,000.  316 illegal marijuana plots were discovered and 20 suspects have charges pending for illegal grows.  The largest grow discovered in the operation was located in Jackson County, in the Hoosier National Forrest on Tuesday August 31 where 7,513 plants were located. No arrests have been made from this grow operation but investigators are still following up on leads.  An officer involved with the discovery and eradication of these plants said, "Eradicating the marijuana and stopping the destruction of our public lands is why we have joined forces."

DTV Viewing Tip!
Small adjustments to your antenna can make a big difference in the number of digital channels you can receive. If you have an indoor antenna, try elevating it and moving it closer to an exterior wall of your home. After adjusting your antenna, perform another channel scan to see if your reception is improved.

While adjusting your antenna, it may be helpful to access the "signal strength meter" on your digital-to-analog converter box or digital television to determine whether your adjustments are improving the signals' strength. The signal strength meter is usually accessed through the menu feature on your remote control. Refer to the owner's manual of your device for detailed instructions on how to access its signal strength meter. Remember to do another channel scan after you have adjusted your antenna.
