Fleeing Driver Tosses Over Two-Pounds of Meth
A driver fleeing police along I-64 tossed out a bag filled with over two pounds of Meth worth over $90,000 before crossing into Illinois.
Indiana State Police officers are looking for the driver of a 2020 Dodge Durango.
Illinois State Police and local Illinois police were contacted regarding the pursuit, but the vehicle was not located.
This is an on-going investigation.
Anyone with information regarding the possible identity of the driver or about this incident is encouraged to contact the Indiana State Police at 1-812-867-2079. Anyone with information can remain anonymous.
This afternoon at approximately 3:15, Sergeant Werkmeister was patrolling I-64 near the 12 mile-marker when he observed a 2020 Dodge Durango traveling eastbound at a high rate of speed.
The Dodge Durango was clocked by radar at 98 mph. Sergeant Werkmeister activated his emergency lights and siren and attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver failed to stop and continued east.
The driver of the Dodge stopped quickly at the 19.5 mile-marker and threw out a bag before continuing east on I-64 reaching speeds over 100 mph.
The driver continued south on I-69 before exiting west onto Boonville New Harmony Road and then onto several different county roads before driving north on US 41 to I-64 west.
The vehicle struck stop-sticks at the 4 mile-marker that were deployed by a deputy with the Posey County Sheriff’s Office, but the vehicle was able to enter Illinois and continued west. The pursuit was terminated.
A deputy with the Posey County Sheriff’s Office later found the bag that was thrown from the vehicle near the 19.5 mile-marker. Officers located over two pounds of marijuana and over two pounds of methamphetamine inside the bag.
The methamphetamine has a street value of approximately $90,000.

Saturday night, October 31, at approximately 9:18, Indiana State Police responded to a vehicle vs. pedestrian crash on US 41 south of Hess Road involving a Knox County Sheriff’s Deputy.
The investigation revealed the sheriff’s deputy was responding to a crash with unknown injuries in the area of US 41 and Cottonwood Lane.
The deputy was south of Vincennes and traveling north on US 41. The sheriff’s deputy had his emergency lights activated. As the deputy approached the area of Hess Road, a male wearing dark clothing walked from the median into the deputy’s lane of travel. The sheriff’s deputy braked but couldn’t avoid striking the pedestrian.
The pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene by the Knox County Coroner. The pedestrian is a 68-year-old male from Vincennes. His identity will be released after his family has been notified.
Further investigation revealed the 68-year-old male had been traveling on US 41 and for unknown reasons drove off the roadway near Cottonwood Lane and struck a tree and fence.

Gov. Holcomb Extends Health Emergency Until Dec. 1
Indiana Governor Eric J. Holcomb late this afternoon issued an executive order extending the state’s public health emergency that was due to expire Sunday for another 30 days until December 1.
It the eighth extension of the emergency over the outbreak that he originally declared in March.
To date, nearly 1.7 million people have been tested for COVID-19 in Indiana, and a total of 175,893 Hoosiers are known to have had the virus.
You can read the order here.
Indiana has remained in “Stage 5” of Gov. Holcomb’s reopening plan for some time, despite skyrocketing numbers that are now in the 3,000-plus per day range.
A statewide mask mandate remains in effect.
Indiana is grappling with record-high COVID-19 cases as we settle into the fall season.
For the past five days in a row, Indiana State Health officials have noted at least 2,000 new coronavirus cases each day.
On Wednesday, the state broke an all-time-high record of newly reported COVID-19 cases at 3,649.
The Indiana State Department of Health announced 3,205 new cases of the virus on Friday and 26 additional deaths.
Office Of Community And Rural Affairs Awards Nine Planning Grants
The Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs is awarding nine planning grants to communities to develop a variety of plans that will help improve the quality of life for their residents.
“Planning grants are invaluable tools that can help rural communities shape their vision for the community and economic development,” said Matt Crouch, Interim Executive Director of OCRA. “I applaud the foresight by the community’s leaders and residents taking the time to plan for these significant investments within their communities.”
The State of Indiana distributes the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to rural communities to assist units of local government with various community projects. Planning grants are one type of grants offered through OCRA’s CDBG Program.
The Planning Grant Program strives to encourage communities to plan for long-term community development with the aid of subject matter experts and community input. The applications being funded this quarter are aiming to address water infrastructure and comprehensive community planning.
Water Infrastructure grants allow communities to take a holistic view of potential issues and opportunities across the drinking, waste, and stormwater infrastructure. By completing water infrastructure planning, communities will be able to make decisions regarding the most urgent water needs while understanding how each system works in context with other utility systems. The following seven communities are awarded the following grants:
- The Town of Brookston is awarded $58,500;
- The Town of Brownstown is awarded $50,000;
- The Town of Center Point is awarded $35,000;
- The Town of Chalmers is awarded $60,000;
- The Town of Earl Park is awarded $69,300;
- The City of Hartford City is awarded $90,000; and
- The Town of Hebron is awarded $35,000.
Comprehensive Planning grants are designed to aid communities in assessing assets and identify opportunities to address current needs. Each comprehensive plan includes a holistic view and potential opportunities to improve in the following areas: land use, government capacity, public services, placemaking, economic development, housing, transportation, agriculture, natural resources, broadband access, and historic resources. The Town of Hudson and the Town of Otterbein are each awarded $40,000 grants.
Applications are accepted on a quarterly basis. The next quarter opens Monday, Nov. 9, 2020, with applications due Friday, Jan. 15, 2021. For more information, visit in.gov/ocra/2371.htm.
Overnight closures rescheduled for Tuesday on I-65 SB for bridge repair
Indiana Department of Transportation contractor E&B Paving Inc. plans to conduct intermittent closures next Tuesday night (Nov. 3) on southbound I-65 in Clark County to complete repairs on the bridge over Caney Fork. Closures were originally planned for Friday, but have been rescheduled due to heavy rain and possible flooding expected later this week.
Closures will take place for up to 20 minutes at a time from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. between MM 22.5 and MM 17, from south of Scottsburg to near Memphis.
Motorists are encouraged to use an alternate route or allow extra travel time to avoid delays, in addition to watching for slowed and/or stopped traffic. The $683,000 project is part of a district-wide bridge maintenance contract.
Indiana Reports 2nd Day of 3,000-Plus Covid Cases
Indiana reported more than 3,000 new coronavirus cases for the second straight day Friday as the state’s new COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations continued to surge.
Washington County reported 8 new cases, which brings to 422 the total cases so far.
This is an increase of 149 cases since October 1. Two more days in October remain to be counted – October 30 and 31.
The Indiana State Department of Health also reported 26 newly recorded COVID-19 deaths, raising the state’s pandemic death toll to 4,286, including confirmed and presumed coronavirus infections.
The 3,205 new infections reported Friday came one day after the state agency reported 3,649 new infections. Those cases reported Thursday set a daily high of newly reported cases of COVID-19 and were the first time Indiana had recorded more than 3,000 positive coronavirus cases in one day.
Indiana’s seven-day rolling average for newly confirmed cases also rose to 2,608, according to the health department’s daily update Friday of its coronavirus dashboard. That is the highest level the state has seen during the pandemic and more than triple the seven-day rolling average of 858 newly confirmed cases the agency reported on Sept. 22.
The coronavirus dashboard also showed that 1,662 Hoosiers are currently hospitalized with the coronavirus. That’s down slightly from the 1,733 Hoosiers that Thursday’s update showed were hospitalized — a number that was highest since early April.
More than 70% of Indiana’s ICU beds are also in use, according to the health department. More of Indiana’s ICU beds are now filled than at any other point in the pandemic so far.
Hospitalizations have grown since Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb announced on Sept. 23 his decision to lift nearly all of Indiana’s COVID-19 restrictions while extending the statewide mask mandate.
In Monroe County, the ISDH reported 65 new positive cases, increasing the county total to 3,515. The death toll remained at 38. Monroe County has administered 123,740 tests and has the highest testing rate in the state with 35,671 residents out of every 100,000 residents tested. This helps explain the county’s seven-day positivity rate of 2.4% — one of the lowest in the state.
Despite the county’s low positivity rate, the ISDH scored Monroe County in the “Yellow Zone” because its number of weekly cases per 100 people is 107.
To date, nearly 1.7 million people have been tested for COVID-19 in Indiana, and a total of 175,893 Hoosiers are known to have had the virus.
