A man and woman were arrested on multiple felony charges last night (3/4) in Muncie after the car they were in pulled out of a business in front of an off duty trooper with no headlights on.

Just before 8:30 p.m. last night Trooper Nicholas Albrecht was off duty and driving his Indiana State Police car north on CR 400 N. in Muncie, about to turn into a business, when a white Mazda pulled out of the business with no headlights on.

Albrecht turned after the vehicle and got it stopped as it turned onto McGalliard Rd. The female driver gave the trooper a name and date of birth but seemed unusually nervous.  Her male passenger was identified as Matthew Schott, age 29 of Alexandria. 

Schott attempted to exit the vehicle and flee, but Trooper Albrecht was able to take him into custody. It was found that Schott was wanted on Felony warrants for Violation of Work Release and Failure to Return to Lawful Detention.

While speaking with the female, Albrecht noticed Schott had gotten the door to his police car open and was attempting to flee again. 

Albrecht caught Schott as he exited the police car and placed him back into the car.  A Delaware County Deputy arrived along with Trooper Harbison to assist.

Further investigation by Albrecht found the female had given a false name and date of birth. Her real name was Natalie Humphries, age 28 of Indianapolis. 

Schott was arrested for the two Felony warrants, Violation of Work Release and Failure to Return to Lawful Detention, and in addition, was charged with Level 6 Felony Attempted Escape. Humphries, who was arrested for Identity Deception, Level 6 Felony, was also found to be in possession of a pill believed to be Xanax. 

She was also charged with Possession of a Legend Drug, Level 6 Felony, and Possession of a Controlled Substance, a misdemeanor.  Schott and Humphries were lodged in the Delaware County Jail.

This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of troopers living in the communities in which they serve, and proves the adage that “An Indiana State Trooper is never off duty.”

A limit will be placed on the number of youth hunters allowed to hunt a respective property on each hunting day, in an attempt to provide quality hunts for participants. The youth turkey season is April 18-19. 

Interested hunters or an adult representing them must register in person or by phone during the normal office hours for the property they wish to hunt. Hunters are allowed to register for only one property.

Participating Fish & Wildlife areas include:

This weekend, it is time to change clocks and “spring ahead” one hour.

Daylight Saving Time will begin at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 8th in most areas of the U.S.

This is the most dreaded of the time changes because it feels as though we’re losing an hour of sleep. So, if you normally wake up at 6 a.m., you’ll be rising at 5 a.m. even though the clock face says 6 a.m.

More than 30 states are considering legislation related to the century-old practice of changing clocks twice a year and seven states have already approved legislation to observe permanent daylight saving time.

President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Uniform Time Act in 1966, which established daylight saving time from the second Sunday of March through the first Sunday of October.

The law also allows states to remain in standard time all year and does not require states to adhere to daylight saving time. However, it does require that states get approval from Congress before making daylight saving time permanent.

In fact, those against changing clocks during the year include President Donald Trump, who tweeted in March that making DST “permanent is O.K. with me.”

Other advocates argue that shifting time twice a year can cause an increased risk of stroke and heart attack, as well as affecting adults 65 or older more drastically.

Those in favor of shifting time include the National Parent Teacher Association, which says that children would have to commute to school in the dark with year-round daylight saving time, and the U.S. Department of Transportation, which says that the time changes save energy and cut crime.

The first Sunday in November is when Daylight Saving Time ends in most areas of the U.S., so in 2020 we’ll “fall back” one hour and return to Standard Time on Sunday, November 1, 2020, at 2 a.m. Be sure to set your clocks back one hour before bed Saturday night.

Late last night, a second suspect was arrested on Robbery charges related to the shooting that occurred in Ohio County on March 3, 2020.

Shortly after 6:00 am, on March 3^rd, Indiana State Police Detectives began the investigation into the shooting that occurred outside of a residence on State Road 262 near Rising Sun, Indiana. 

The investigation determined that three men approached a 22-year-old Rising Sun man, who lives at the residence and attempted to rob him. 

The 22-year-old man displayed a gun and fired at the suspects.  The three suspects fled the scene.  A 20-year-old man from Ohio was soon found walking in the area, suffering from a gunshot wound to his abdomen. 

The 20-year-old suspect was transported to a Cincinnati area hospital for treatment of serious injuries. 

Later in the day, Marcus Donald, age 34, was found walking in the area. 

He was soon arrested on charges of Conspiracy to Commit Robbery and incarcerated in the Dearborn County Jail. 

A third suspect, Jesse J. Michel, age 24, Cincinnati, Ohio was soon identified but not located that day.

Yesterday, Indiana State Police Detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Michel out of Ohio County, Indiana on a charge of Conspiracy to Commit Robbery. 

Late last night, Michel was located in Cincinnati, Ohio by Hamilton County Law Enforcement.  He was incarcerated in Hamilton County, Ohio pending extradition back to Indiana.

The investigation is ongoing.  Additional charges and arrests are possible.

Early this morning, Indiana State Police Detectives began investigating a shooting that occurred at a residence in Brownstown, Indiana.

The investigation began shortly after midnight when a 40-year-old Brownstown man and his 5-year-old son showed up at Schneck Medical Center, Seymour, Indiana. 

Both the man and the boy were suffering from gunshot wounds to their legs. 

The man was treated and released at Schneck Medical Center.  The boy was transferred to Riley Hospital, Indianapolis, IN for further treatment. 

The boy was also expected to be treated and released.

The initial investigation led officers from the Brownstown Police Department to an address at 1027 W. Oak Street, Brownstown where the shooting allegedly occurred. 

Indiana State Police Detectives and Crime Scene Technicians were then requested to lead the investigation.

The investigation by Det. Nate Adams, Indiana State Police-Versailles, has determined that the man was handling a handgun in the living room of the home when the handgun discharged. 

A bullet from the gun went through the man’s leg and then entered the leg of the boy who was also in the room.

The investigation is ongoing at this time. 

At the conclusion of the investigation, the case will be turned over to the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office for review.

The Indiana State Police was assisted by the Brownstown Police Department, Seymour Police Department, Jackson County Sheriff’s Department, Indiana Department of Child Services, and the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office.
