Man Killed during Confrontation on East Side of New Albany

0
Floyd:  A New Albany man was shot and killed during a Saturday evening dispute in New Albany.

Around 5:00 PM Saturday, 68-year-old Kevin Campbell was inside his residence at 1005 Slate Run Road, New Albany. 

 
While inside, Campbell heard a knock on his bedroom window and went to the door of his home after retrieving a small caliber rifle. 
 
Upon opening the door, Campbell observed 41-year-old Christopher Proctor standing outside, holding a sword. 
 
Detectives believe Proctor approached the doorway towards Campbell with sword in hand, at which point Campbell fired a single shot. 
 
The gunshot struck Proctor in the chest. 
 
He was later pronounced dead at the scene by the Floyd County Coroners Office.

After a near two-hour delay, Campbell phoned the New Albany Police Department to report a deceased male in his yard. 

 
As officers arrived at the residence, Campbell informed officers that he had shot Proctor.  Campbell was detained and transported by detectives to the Sellersburg Post for interviews.

At this time, Campbell has been arrested and charged with Obstruction of Justice, a Level 6 Felony. 

 
He has been transported to and lodged in the Floyd County Jail.

This case remains under investigation by detectives and crime scene investigators.

Scottsburg Man Arrested After Wednesday Evening Pursuit

0
The pursuit of a motorcycle in Scottsburg ended with the arrest of a Scottsburg resident.

Around 9:20 PM, Sergeant Tracy Spencer was patrolling State Road 56 near US Highway 31 when he observed a motorcycle traveling west on SR56 doing a wheelie. 

 
Arrested and Charged was Christian J. Lindebald, 29, Scottsburg, for Resisting Law Enforcement with a Vehicle, Level 6 Felony
and Reckless Driving, Class C Misdemeanor
 
After the motorcycle’s front wheel was back on the ground and had driven by Sergeant Spencer, he turned around behind the vehicle and attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the motorcycle. 
 
The motorcycle accelerated by another motorist before disregarding a red traffic light. 

The motorcycle rider continued to flee from law enforcement, disregarding multiple stop signs at intersections in Scottsburg as well as driving off road through grass. 

 
During the pursuit, the motorcycle had traveled head on at a Scott County deputy before turning. 

At US 31 near Fairground Road, the motorcycle again left the roadway, driving between homes in the subdivision.  The motorcycle was abandoned in the yard of a home on Jarin Court, where the rider fled on foot.

While speaking with residents in the area, Sergeant Spencer learned that the rider lived at the home in which the motorcycle had been abandoned.  29-year-old Christian Lindebald voluntarily came out of his home and was placed into custody without incident.  

Lindebald was transported to the Scott County Jail where he was processed and lodged.

Crews will conduct right lane closures on northbound and southbound I-65 between the I-265 interchange and Memphis (Exit 16), while tree work is in progress. Work is expected to be complete by late November, weather permitting.

INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, use extra caution and avoid distractions when traveling in and near work zones. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.

—————

ISP Drug Take Back Day This Saturday at Sellersburg Post

0
On Saturday, October 26, 2024, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is sponsoring the 27th nationwide “Prescription Drug Take Back” initiative.  The “Take Back” initiative seeks to prevent prescription drug abuse and theft through proper disposal of prescription drugs.

Collection sites will be set up nationwide for expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs which will be properly disposed of without threat to the environment.  This program is for liquid and pill medications.  Vaping pens without batteries and vaping cartridges will also be taken.  Needles, new or used, WILL NOT be accepted for disposal.  This service is free and anonymous with no questions asked.

This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue.  Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs.  Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet.

In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—pose both potential safety and health hazards.

Once again, the Indiana State Police is pleased to partner with the DEA, and as in the past, unwanted medications may be dropped off at any Indiana State Police Post, except for the Toll Road Post.  The event will be on Saturday, October 26, 2024, between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.

The Indiana State Police Post in Sellersburg is located at 8014 CR 311, Sellersburg, Indiana, 47172.
