On November 27th, troopers from the Indiana State Police Post at Sellersburg received a report of a Burglary from a new construction site located on Fairview Church Road in rural Harrison County.

Arrested were Jonathon L. Taylor, 35, from English, IN, was charged with Burglary and Theft and Buster L. Embry, 41, from Corydon, IN, was charged with Burglary and Theft. 

Both subjects were incarcerated at the Harrison County Jail. 

During the theft, new appliances and other construction materials were stolen totaling over $4,500.00.

The victim stated he had a theft of propane tanks from the property a couple of weeks earlier but did not report it.

He stated he did however hide a camera on the property in case anything else happened. He stated he had captured a vehicle and two individuals on the camera from this theft.

Troopers viewed the video and saw two people allegedly stealing the items the victim had reported. The vehicle they were in appeared to be a 1990’s Chevrolet Astro van. A search for the vehicle and suspects was immediately initiated.

A break in the case came yesterday when a Harrison County Deputy located the vehicle on State Road #337 in Corydon.

The Harrison County Deputy immediately contacted troopers who then went to the residence.

As troopers spoke to two individuals at the home they started noticing items that matched the description of the items taken from the home on Fairview Church Road.

After confirming stolen items troopers placed two individuals under arrest. All the stolen items from the Fairview Church Road theft were recovered.

On December 8, 2017 at approximately 11:09 am, Clark County 911 Dispatch received numerous calls about two vehicles traveling over 100 miles per hour on Interstate 65 approaching the Nine Mile Marker.

The callers stated it appeared that one vehicle was chasing the other vehicle. 

At Exit Nine, (Sellersburg), one of the vehicles, a 2013 Chrysler attempted to exit and crashed.

The driver, identified as Billy Dale Huttsell, was ejected from the car and sustained serious injuries.  While rendering aid one of the troopers on the scene asked Huttsell what happened.

Huttsell told officer’s someone rammed his car.

Huttsell was transported to the University of Louisville Hospital with life threatening injuries. He was not wearing a seat belt.

Several witnesses gave information on the other vehicle that was involved, a greyish colored Ford Crown Victoria.

Later in the evening, troopers located the Crown Victoria involved in the crash in Scottsburg, IN.

Troopers made a traffic stop on the vehicle and James Paul White was driving.

White stated he had a confrontation with Huttsell in the parking lot at the Kohl’s department store in New Albany, IN.

The argument was over an alleged theft.

He stated Huttsell left the Kohl’s Store and he followed him eventually resulting in Huttsell crashing. Huttsell was taken into custody by troopers.

While troopers were interacting with Huttsell at the crash scene and White when they located him after the crash, both subjects were in possession of illegal substances.

Farm Journal Media announced today that agriculture’s most-listened-to radio talk-program, AgriTalk, heard on WSLM 97.9 FM weekdays from 11:05 to Noon, will welcome a new host.

Effective Jan. 2, 2018, Chip Flory will take the seat as host of one of agriculture’s most iconic radio programs.

Flory will continue as host of the Market Rally radio program, also heard on WSLM from 3:05p – 4p, a strategic shift to a single host that will closely align these two nationally syndicated talk shows.

WSLM is the Louisville and South Central Indiana affiliate for the programs, reaching over 500,000 farmers daily. 

Flory will be only the third host in AgriTalk’s long history.

A graduate of Iowa State University, he spent three years reporting from the floors of the Chicago Board of Trade and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. With ProFarmer since 1991, Flory has long been an editorial leader for Farm Journal’s newsletter division, most recently serving as Editorial Director.

Flory also serves as the Farm Journal Economist, has led the ProFarmer Crop Tour and helped launch Market Rally in 2013.

“We are pleased to welcome Chip as the next host of AgriTalk,” said Brian Conrady, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Farm Journal Broadcast. “We know he is committed to carrying on the tradition and commitment to excellence established by Mike Adams, and we believe Chip’s expansive industry knowledge and entertaining personality will serve our audience well for years to come.”

Mike Adams has been the host of AgriTalk since 2001. He is a former president of the National Association of Farm Broadcasters, and a recipient of the prestigious Farm Broadcaster of the Year award.

A special farewell edition of AgriTalk looking back at his 16 years of hosting the program aired this afternoon. 

“Over my long career in radio and ag programming, both AgriTalk and Mike Adams have been institutions in this industry,” said Mark DePrez, Vice President and General Manager, Farm Journal Radio. “We’re thankful for the indelible mark that Mike will be leaving—and at the same time, look forward to Chip’s new position in the chair.”
