Holcomb Sworn In As New Lt. Governor

Former Indiana Republican chairman Eric Holcomb has been sworn in as the state’s new lieutenant governor.

Holcomb took the oath of office during a Statehouse ceremony Thursday afternoon, a few hours after the Indiana House and Senate confirmed his nomination by Gov. Mike Pence.

The state Senate voted 50-0 shortly after the House voted 91-3 Thursday morning to approve Pence’s pick of Holcomb.

Holcomb replaces Sue Ellspermann in a rare midterm transition for the state’s No. 2 office.

Pence cited Holcomb’s experience as a top aide to former Gov. Daniels and U.S. Sen. Dan Coats as helping prepare him for the position.

Ellspermann resigned from office Wednesday and is applying to become Ivy Tech Community College‘s new president.

Senator Dan Coats (R-Ind.) today released the following statement regarding the resignation of Lieutenant Governor Sue Ellspermann:

“I want to thank Lieutenant Governor Sue Ellspermann for her service to the state of Indiana. She represented Hoosiers with integrity and worked tirelessly to ensure that Indiana is a great place to work, raise a family and call home. Sue has a bright future ahead of her, and I know she will continue to effectively serve Hoosiers in the next steps of her career.”

Upon the Indiana General Assembly’s confirmation of Eric Holcomb as Lieutenant Governor, following the resignation of Lieutenant Governor Sue Ellspermann, Indiana Auditor of State Suzanne Crouch released the following statement:

“It has truly been an honor to serve with Sue Ellspermann as a member of the Indiana House of Representatives and in her capacity as the State’s second-in-command. I’ve seen first-hand her thoughtful, capable leadership and passion for serving Hoosiers. I’m thankful for her outstanding service as Indiana’s 50th Lieutenant Governor and I wish her all the best in her future endeavors.

“I extend my congratulations to Eric Holcomb as he takes the oath as Indiana’s Lieutenant Governor. His background and experience will benefit him as he serves our State and continues the tradition of excellence Hoosiers have come to expect from the office. I wish him success and look forward to working with him in his new role.”

A tip to the Washington County Sheriff’s Department led to the arrest of a Washington County man Tuesday night on Marijuana charges.

Cozart, 52, Arrested For 2 Counts of Burglary, 6 Counts Theft

The weather helped the Washington County Sheriff’s Department with an arrest of a Salem man on burglary and theft charges.

According to Washington County Sheriff, deputies responded to a burglary in the Pekin area on Saturday.

“We were called back on Monday when we had a tip that a vehicle was stuck in the mud,” said Newlon, who contributed that to the Sunday night rain.

Randall L. Cozart, 52, 108 N. Fair Street, was brought in for for questioning.

According to Deputy Brent Miller, information was obtained to connect Cozart with burglaries at Western Auto in Salem, where 16 tires were reported stolen.

Police obtained a search warrant and recovered a treasure trove of items Cozart has allegedly stolen — more than 400 items.

“We think he was involved in a burglary at Tractor Supply,” said Newlon. “We found cases of garden seeds.”

Newlon also said power tools, chain saws, air compressors, lawn mowers and many other items were recovered from a trailer at the Fairview Trailer Park.

“He had been stockpiling things there,” said Newlon. “There was a shed there and there was even a door where you could go in under the trailer and that was full.”

In fact, Miller said he has between 400-500 pictures. “There is a good possibility most of this is stolen but we’re not sure where it’s stolen from.”

Newlon encouraged anybody in the area who has recently lost items in a theft to contact the Sheriff’s Department at 812.883.2834 and schedule a time to come in and identify their items with the photographs.

Newlon said authorities believe Cozart was breaking into the same house again on Monday when he became stuck.

Miller said Cozart will likely be charged with thefts in the City of Salem.

An early morning traffic stop resulted in the arrest of a Jasper man on OWI charges.

John Henry Kempf, 23, Jasper, IN was arrested and charged with Operating While Intoxicated, with passengers less than 18 years of age, Level 6 Felony.

At 2:43 A.M. this morning, Trooper Charlie Johnson was patrolling Main Street in Tell City when he observed a southbound 2001 Chrysler traveling 52 miles per hour in a 25 mile per hour zone.

Trooper Johnson also observed the vehicle travel across the center line numerous times. Upon conducting a traffic stop on the vehicle on Main Street near Mozart Street, Trooper Johnson learned that Kempf had just used methamphetamine.

Later tests indicated that Kempf had presumptively tested positive for methamphetamine and THC.

At the time of the traffic stop, Kempf had two children in the vehicle, a four and a five year old. The children were released to family members while Kempf was transported to and lodged in the Perry County Jail.
