4 Year Old Underwood Boy Dies; Father Investigated for Murder

January 8, 2015

An investigation into the battery of a four-year old boy from Underwood Indiana has now turned into a murder investigation as Hayden Dukes of 22416 Campbell Street in Underwood, IN, (rural Clark County) passed away this afternnoon in a Louisville hospital.

Hayden was in Kosair Children’s Hospital in Louisville, KY after allegedly being battered by his father, Christopher A. Bruck.

Hayden had not responded to treatment and taken off the ventilator which was keeping him alive with approval from his family. He died shortly after being taken off the apparatus.

Hayden’s family is holding an auction to raise funds for his funeral expenses. You can find and bid on items via the Auctions for Hayden Facebook page.

Bruck, 27, Hayden Dukes’ father, was in court yesterday facing a number of charges including aggravated battery. He is currently in jail and being held on a $100,000 full-cash bond.

The Aggravated Battery and Neglect of a Dependent case against Bruck has now officially turned into a Death Investigation case.

An autopsy will be performed on Hayden Dukes Friday morning at the Kentucky Medical Examiner’s Office in Louisville, KY. When this autopsy has been completed further information will be released.

At this time no further information will be released by the Indiana State Police or the Clark County Prosecutor’s Office.

On January 3, 2015, Detective Raichel Abbott and Detective David Mitchell from the Indiana State Police Post at Sellersburg were sent to the Kosair Children’s Hospital in Louisville, KY to investigate serious and suspicious injuries to a four year old male child from 22416 Campbell Street in Underwood, IN, (rural Clark County). The child had been transferred to Kosair Children’s Hospital in Louisville, KY from the Scott County Hospital located in Scott County, IN. A doctor at the Scott County Hospital contacted the Indiana State Police after seeing the child and suspecting possible injuries from child abuse.

While at the Kosair Children’s Hospital, Detective’s Abbott and Mitchell interviewed the father of the child, Christopher A. Bruck, 27, from the above mentioned address in Clark County. While talking to Christopher Bruck it was learned that he became upset at the four year old child and struck him. Later that same afternoon Scott County E.M.S. was called to the address in Underwood and transported the child to the Scott County Hospital for treatment.

After speaking to Christopher A. Bruck, he was transported back to Indiana where he was arrested and incarcerated at the Clark County Jail. He was charged with Aggravated Battery, Level 3 Felony and Neglect of Dependent Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury, Level 3 Felony.

Sen. Houchin Introduces Reading Assessment Bill

January 8, 2015

State Sen. Erin Houchin’s (R-Salem) first bill as a state senator will work to move Indiana’s I-READ exam from third grade to second grade.

Senate Bill 169 requires students who do not pass the I-READ exam while in second grade to retake the test during the third grade, which allows for more opportunities to strengthen reading abilities.

“It’s important to catch reading deficiencies early so that issues may be promptly identified, providing more time for remediation,” said Houchin.

This proposal is also driven by educators who have expressed concerns with the amount of time spent on testing, particularly in the month of March.

Third-grade classrooms in Indiana spend most of the month of March testing, according to teachers. Currently, second-grade students don’t have any state-mandated tests.

SB 169 has been assigned to the Senate Committee on Education and Career Development.

January 7, 2015

With the frigid cold temperatures and high winds we’re experiencing, a disabled or stranded vehicle could make for a life or death situation for the driver and passengers. Following the few tips listed below could save your life:

1388963052

Let someone know your route of travel.
Always keep your gas tank full when driving in cold weather.
Carry a winter survival kit in your car which is to include: blankets, extra warm clothes, flashlight, extra batteries, brightly colored cloth, sand or a bag of cat litter, shovel, candles and matches, non perishable high calorie foods, (nuts, raisins, and protein or energy bars), newspapers (for insulation), a first aid kit and jumper cables.
Do not leave your car if stranded, it is your best protection. Do not panic, an idling car only uses an average of one gallon of gas per hour. • Roll down a window a very small amount for fresh air.
Make sure the car’s exhaust pipe is not blocked to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
At night, leave your dome light on.
Always have your cell phone and a charger so you can call and let us know where you’re located.

Following these simple tips could save you or a family member’s life. Motorists are also reminded that with the frigid temperatures, gusting winds and blowing snow also comes the possibility of intersections, bridge decks and overpasses icing over. Please keep this in mind and drive with caution.

Overnight Pursuit Through Two Counties Lands Grandview Man in Jail

January 7, 2015

A six mile pursuit late last night ended with a Rockport man behind bars.

Matthew R. Jennings, 26, of 410 East 8th Street, Grandview, IN, was arrested and charged with Resisting Law Enforcement, Level 6 Felony and Reckless Driving, Class B Misdemeanor.

At about 10:05 last night, Trooper Ross Johnson was stationary along State Road 161, near Old State Road 64 (north of Holland), when he observed a green 1996 GMC Jimmy traveling northbound at what appeared to be a high rate of speed.

Trooper Johnson activated his radar, which indicated the GMC was traveling 72 miles per hour in a 55 mile per hour zone.

Trooper Johnson pulled behind the GMC and, as the GMC turned west onto Old State Road 64, he activated his emergency lights to attempt to initiate a traffic stop. Rather than stop, the GMC accelerated in an attempt to flee.

During the pursuit, the GMC made an unsafe pass on a double yellow line, drove down the middle of the roadway, and attempted to evade Trooper Johnson at speeds nearing 100 miles per hour.

After reaching Stendal in Pike County, the GMC left the roadway, struck a concrete bridge, and again continued to flee. A short time later, the GMC left the roadway a second time, stopping in a ditch.

Jennings jumped out of the vehicle and began running from the scene. Trooper Johnson gave chase, catching Jennings and placing him into custody.

Jennings was lodged without further incident in the Pike County Jail on charges of Resisting Law Enforcement and Reckless Driving.

Southern Hills Church will be having a soup kitchen to serve those in the community who may be in need of a warm meal.

The meal is free and open to anyone.

Southern Hills Minister Steve Corp said there would be a variety of soups, hot dogs and other snacks.

It will take place at the church located at 1645 State Road 135, Salem at 6p.

Corp said on WSLM’s FYI program Tuesday that he hopes the program can be taken on by other churches and organizations in the community over the next year. “This isn’t just something that Southern Hills can do. It’s something we can all be involved in. If you want to volunteer, let us know. If you want to help with food, that’s great. There are people out in the community who need help and we need to step up and find out how the churches can do that. We have over 100 churches in Washington County — we can certainly see everyone step up and help out.”

For more information, contact Corp at 883-1637 or Cynthia Porter at 620.2736.
