ISP investigating Shoals burglary
The Indiana State Police is looking for answers after a burglary was reported Saturday at a Shoals car dealership.
Trooper Jarrod Lents went to Bailey Brothers Used Cars, in the 500 block of 2nd Street, after employees discovered that the sales office had been broken into. Sometime between closing on Friday and Saturday morning someone broke into the officer area and took three sets of keys. Of the three cars the keys belonged to, a 1994 Jeep Cherokee was not moved, a 1995 Jeep Cherokee was moved across the street and across from the service center, and a 2009 BMW 335i was stolen from the property.
After entering the BMW as stolen in the computer database, investigators learned that the vehicle had been recovered at about 6:30 Saturday morning by the Orange County Sheriff’s Department. The vehicle had been abandoned in a ditch.
Indiana State Police Crime Scene Investigators spent the rest of the weekend processing the vehicles and business for clues and information; however, investigators are asking for your assistance. Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to contact the Jasper Post of the Indiana State Police by calling (812)-482-1441.
Jackson County Deputy released after being shot
An officer wounded in a shootout with an 18-year-old prison parolee barred from possessing a firearm has been released from the hospital.
Rick Meyer, a Jackson County sheriff’s deputy, planned to return to the scene of the incident Friday to talk with investigators about his role.
Meyer was shot twice — once in each shoulder — while investigating a report of suspicious people on State Road 39 just south of Tampico. That report was received at 7:06 p.m. Thursday, and the caller told dispatch there were what appeared to be suspicious juveniles walking along the highway with a trash bag and a gasoline can.
Isiah Rogers, 18, of Brownstown, who is accused of shooting Meyer was on parole after serving less than one year in prison on a sexual assault conviction and was barred from possessing a firearm.
Roger who was shot by return fire from Officer Meyer, has been out of prison for less than three months, according to public records.
A second man involved in the incident Thursday, 21-year-old Alexandrew L. Mullikin, of Vernon, was wanted on a Jennings Circuit Court warrant on charges of auto theft and false informing, according to the Jennings County Prosecutor’s Office. He was arrested on that warrant and remained in the Jackson County Jail on Friday night.
A review panel of five people will investigate the shooting. Sheriff Michael Carothers says the review board will include officers with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department, a firearms instructor from another police agency and the county prosecutor. He is unsure when the panel will meet to review the incident.
Irsay is back in the office
Jim Irsay is back. The Colts owner has been out of the public eye since his arrest seven weeks ago for driving while impaired.
The team announced two days later he’d voluntarily checked himself into a treatment facility.
Irsay’s freewheeling Twitter account had been dormant since his arrest except for a single retweet. He broke his silence with a trio of tweets late Thursday night from the team’s war room for the NFL draft.
Irsay thanked Colts fans for their “love and support,” and tweeted, “Really missed you guys! Your kindness will never be forgotten!”
The Colts didn’t have a first-round pick, but will swing into action with Friday’s second round.
Irsay’s reemergence comes a day after the Indiana Sports Corporation announced Irsay will make Indy’s presentation at the NFL owners’ meeting May 19-21 as the city makes its pitch for the 2018 Super Bowl.
Police say Irsay was driving extremely slowly and sometimes stopping in the middle of the roadway when he was pulled over in Carmel. Officers say they found various prescription drugs in the vehicle.
Hamilton County prosecutors say they’re still waiting on blood test results before deciding whether to file formal charges.

Excise Officers Arrest Man on Drug Dealing Charges
Indiana State Excise Police officers arrested an Indianapolis man on several drug-dealing charges this afternoon.
At 3:30 p.m., excise officers saw Alonzo Maxie, 42, of Indianapolis, driving a 1990 Chevy Suburban north on Luett Street near 18th. Maxie had an active arrest warrant for dealing marijuana after an excise officer had purchased marijuana from Maxie on three separate occasions.
Excise officers stopped Maxie’s vehicle at 18th and Luett Street. He was then arrested on the warrant for dealing marijuana. Excise officers found a hand rolled cigarette containing marijuana on Maxie when he was being arrested.
During an inventory of the vehicle prior to towing it, excise officers located a bag with two clear plastic bags of suspected marijuana (over 30 grams), a digital scale, approximately 212 empty clear plastic bags and a pair of scissors.
In addition to the warrant, Maxie was also arrested on preliminary charges of dealing marijuana, possession of marijuana (over 30 grams) and possession of drug paraphernalia.
As the enforcement division of the Indiana Alcohol and Tobacco Commission, the primary mission of the Indiana State Excise Police is to promote public safety by enforcing Indiana’s Alcoholic Beverage Code. While excise officers have the authority to enforce any state law, they focus primarily on alcohol, tobacco and related laws.
Jackson County Sheriff shot near Tampico
A 46-year-old Jackson County deputy shot the man who opened fire on him Wednesday night near Tampico.
