Scottsburg-Shortly after 2:00 pm on today’s date, a red 2001 Ford Windstar van
was northbound on Interstate 65 near the 28.5 Mile Marker in Scott County, when
for an unknown reason the van crossed into the median. After crossing into the
median the vehicle then crossed the southbound lanes ending up on the west side
of the roadway in a wooded area.

When troopers and other emergency personnel arrived at the scene the driver was
deceased. The preliminary death investigation by the Scott County Coroner,
Jerry Buchanan, revealed the driver likely suffered a medical condition causing
the crash. It is unknown if the driver’s death was a result of the impact of
the crash, the likely medical condition, or a combination of both.

The driver’s name is being withheld at this time until the next of kin is
notified.

Monday, April 15th is the deadline to file both state and federal income taxes.

Senior Communication Specialist Chetrice Mosley with the Indiana Department of Revenue says there is still plenty of time for Hoosiers to file their income taxes electronically. Mosley says the state offers people who qualify the opportunity to file both federal and state income tax returns for free through a program called Indiana Freefile. Qualified filers must have an adjusted gross income of 57-thousand dollars or less.

With the filing deadline just a few days away, many people may need and extension to file their returns. Mosley says people who are filing an extension will still need to pay all or as much of the taxes they owe as they can by the April 15th deadline.

Mosley says people should use their best estimate of the taxes owed.Once a payment is made and the extension form is submitted, the taxpayer has until June to submit their completed return. Information about the Freefile program or extensions to file is available at the Department of Revenue‘s website, www.in.gov/dor.

The bodies of a 57-year-old man and his three dogs were found in a Spearsville home Wednesday.

A resident on Bean Blossom Road called police for a welfare check.

Neighbors became concerned after they hadn’t seen Robert Arnold “Bob” Suding Jr., for close to one month. One neighbor called police around 6:30 pm after looking through a window and seeing the dead dogs.

Brown County Deputy Coroner Earl Piper estimated Suding had been dead for two to three weeks. Causes of death for Suding and the dogs have not been determined.

Piper is awaiting information from investigators before recording a cause of death. He has spoken with a pathologist and does not plan to seek an autopsy.

Piper is not sure how the dogs died, but says they probably did not starve and they had access to water.

Suding has family in Brown County and Chicago. Funeral arrangements are pending.

Former candidate for Indiana Representative, Washington County Commissioner, County Engineer and Solid Waste District Director who was arrested in March on charges of child molestation has been released on bond.

Albert Mike Goering has been released from the Washington County Detention Center after posting a $25,000 bond.

Washington Circuit Judge Larry Medlock issued an order last week to reduce Goering’s bond from $120,000 to $25,000 full cash.

Goering had been jailed since his March 22 arrest on six B felony charges involving allegations he had sexual relations with a young teenage girl.

Medlock attached six terms to his order, including stipulations that Goering surrender his passport and sign a waiver of extradition.

Medlock ordered that Goering not leave the state, including in his order, “Defendant shall not even cross the river to the State of Kentucky.”
