Murder Trial Over Drug Shootings Underway in New Justice Center

0

The trial for a Salem man accused of a double murder began Monday in the new Washington County Justice Center.

Joe Hambel is accused of killing 37-year-old Valerie Dicus and 36-year-old Joseph Hobson in August 2016.

If convicted Hambel could face up to 65 years in jail on each murder charge

Hamble told police that he killed 36-year-old Joseph Hobson and 37-year-old Valerie Dicus with a .32 caliber handgun saying that ‘he just took care of one of Washington County’s biggest drug problems.’

According to a probable cause affidavit, Hambel, of Salem, drove to a home at 304 West Small Street, Apartment 13 during the early morning hours of Aug. 19, 2016 because he believed Hobson and Dicus, who is related to Hambel, were dealing drugs.

Dicus died of a single gunshot wound and Hobson died of multiple gunshot wounds.

Hambel told police he accidentally shot Dicus.

Hambel was arrested by the Indiana State Police the evening of August 20th and charged with two counts of murder.

A 17-year-old at the time of the murder told police that he was with Hambel on the night of Aug. 19 through the early morning hours Aug. 20 and drove to 304 W. Small St. twice.

Upon learning of the death investigation, Salem City Police Officer Ronnie Mays contacted investigating officers to tell them of a strange encounter he had on Friday.

The probable cause affidavit says a man knocked on his door while Mays was at home. When Mays opened the door, he saw the man was wearing a handgun.

The man told Mays he was related to Valerie Dicus and that he had a nephew in Dicus’ home on Small Street where he said drugs were being dealt. He told Mays he wanted to do something about the drug problem in Salem. Mays later realized that man was Hambel.

Hambel told police his nephew lived in the home and he was concerned for the boy’s well being given the alleged drug activity occurring in the home.

0

A Bedford man was killed Monday afternoon in a single vehicle crash on US 50 near Shoals when a tree fell across the road and into his vehicle. 

Dead is Eric M. Gootee, 33, Bedford, IN. 

At 3:30 PM Monday, Gootee was driving a 2008 Kenworth truck eastbound on US 50 near Rama Dye Road (two miles west of Shoals) when a large tree on the south side of the highway fell across the roadway and into the path of Gootee’s truck. 

The tree hit the truck in the windshield and passenger compartment, impacting Gootee. 

Gootee was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Martin County Coroner.

US 50 was closed for over two hours while the crash was investigated and the scene was cleared.

 

Female from Jeffersonville Found Sleeping Behind the Wheel

0

This morning at approximately 9:18 am, Trooper Brandon Farias observed a stopped vehicle, a green 2000 Lincoln Continental, on Interstate #265 near the 0.5 Mile Marker in Floyd County.

The driver had stopped the green Lincoln on the left shoulder of the road with the emergency flashers engaged.

When trooper Farias approached the vehicle he observed that the female driver was slumped over in the seat.

Trooper Farias knocked on the window of the vehicle but the female was unresponsive. He then opened the driver’s side door and the driver woke up.

As trooper Farias was speaking to the female, identified as Melissa Karsner, 37, from Jeffersonville, IN, he noticed a used syringe in the driver’s side door. Upon further investigation, another syringe was located in the vehicle loaded with a liquid alleged to be Heroin.

Karsner was placed into custody and transported to the Floyd County Jail. While at the jail, a glass smoking pipe and alleged Methamphetamine were located on her person.

Karsner was charged with Possession of Cocaine or Narcotic Drug, Possession of Methamphetamine, Possession of a Syringe, Possession of Paraphernalia and Maintaining a Common Nuisance.

0

The National Weather Service confirmed four tornadoes in Southern Indiana on Sunday, including three near Salem, Indiana, as severe storms passed through Southern and Central Indiana.

Storm surveyors from Louisville office of the National Weather Service determined that damage in Washington County was caused by three tornadoes with winds as high as 95 miles per hour.

A fourth, separate tornado was confirmed in Lawrence County near Springville, west of Bedford. 

Ahead of this front strong storms moved into southern Indiana Sunday afternoon, a broad swath of 40-55 mph winds results in numerous power outages across the regino including nearly 1600 customers from Jackson County REMC.

A front that passed through around 11p resulted in 3 tornadoes in Washington County, IN.

The first tornado hit 6 miles west of Salem on West Washington School Road and registered as at least an “EF0” on the Enhanced Fujita Scale with winds of 80 mph.

The scale rates the severity of tornadoes on a scale of 0 to 5.

A second tornado near South Main Street in Salem registered as an “EF1” with 90-95 mph winds. 

A third tornado 4 miles east of Salem at the intersection of Canton and Howell Road registered as an “EF1” with 90-95 mph winds. 

National Weather Service storm surveyors from Indianapolis, which cover counties north of Washington, confirmed the tornado in Lawrence County. The EF rating had not yet been determined. 

“EF0” tornadoes register a three-second-gust speed of between 65 and 85 miles per hour, according to the National Weather Service website. “EF1” tornadoes register a three-second-gust speed of between 86 and 110 miles per hour.

All three tornadoes hit between 11 and 11:30 p.m. Sunday.

Investigators are still determining the extent of the damage, but pictures showed heavy wreckage on South Main Street in Salem. 

NWS investigated a tornado in Orange County but there was little damage.

Tornado Detected in Washington County; Outages and Damages Reported

0

Unseasonably warm temperatures caused havoc across Central and Southern Indiana Sunday afternoon, with severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings being issued – and the Indiana University Men’s basketball game being delayed at one point. 

Power was also out in much of Salem for about 90 minutes with several hundred Duke Energy customers out and almost 1600 customers of Jackson County Rural Electric out in the afternoon due to high winds. 

According to Washington County Emergency Management Director Desi Alexander, the National Weather Service detected a tornado touchdown somewhere by West Washington School Corporation in the area of Mt. Tabor Road. 

According to the NWS, a classic Tornado Debris Signature was reported just to the West of Salem in Washington County.

Another warning area was indicated North on 135. 

They also will be investigating Tornado touchdowns in Orange County and at two locations in Washington County this afternoon.

The National Weather Service will be in Washington and Orange Counties today surveying damage and assessing possible Tornado touchdowns.

However, Superintendent Keith Nance said this morning there was no indication of damage to the school.

Alexander said there were trees uprooted in a rural area around Mt. Tabor Road and possibly a home with some siding damaged. 

The NWS issued a tornado warning for Washington County at 11:01p – after several others were called and dismissed earlier in the day in Lawrence, Jackson, Orange and Jennings Counties. 

Rotation was initially indicated by radar in the Livonia area and the storm was tracking quickly east to Salem. 

Damage was reported to the north fence of the Salem High School Football field, with some advertising signs damaged and a large section of the fence ripped from the posts. 

There was a medical vehicle damaged in the St. Vincent Hospital lot as well as a small cargo trailer and a light pole knocked down near the high school. 

A transformer in the area was also on fire. 

Electric poles were also down on Water Street and Main Street, where damage was also reported at the Dinner Bell restaurant and with several vehicles at Eddie Gilstrap Motors. 

A large tree fell across South High Street, blocking traffic. 

Another tree was across the road at Bee Line Road, where a motorist in a truck tried to drive over parts of tree and damaged his truck. 

A resident along the road cut up and removed part of the tree and a county snow plow came and pushed the rest of the tree over into the ditch. 

After a weekend where many mulched leaves and cleaned their yards, those yards were strewn with sticks and limbs from trees after the winds hit 40 and 50 mph during the day. 

Lights flickered in Salem around 2p and finally went out for portions of the city about 2:45p. 

WSLM lost power as well as Walmart, and most areas north of the public square. 

Power was restored to Duke Customers about 3:48p. 

WSLM will continue following the story throughout the day and provide updates here on wslmradio.com as well as on air. 

Deer vs. Vehicle Accidents on the Rise

0

Washington County Sheriff Roger Newlon would like to remind drivers that the deer mating season occurs during the fall of the year and can be a dangerous time for drivers.

The Washington County Sheriff’s Department has investigated twenty automobile accidents in the past five days and twelve of those accidents were car/deer accidents. Five of those car/deer accidents occurred between Thursday morning and Friday morning.

DID YOU KNOW?

According to the insurance industry and recent studies;
-There are about 1.6 million reported car/deer accidents a year.
-Car/deer accidents lead to about 200 human deaths, 10,000 human injuries and 3.6 billion dollars in property damage every year.
-The majority of car/deer accidents occur between October and December and between the hours of 6 pm and 9 pm.
-The leading cause of accidents, injuries and deaths from car/deer related accidents is when vehicles swerve.

Here are a couple of TIPS to avoid hitting a deer;

-Watch for the rest of the gang. Deer are pack animals and rarely travel alone. If you see a doe near the roadway, assume a buck may be chasing the doe, during this time of year.
-Timing is everything. Deer are most active at dusk and dawn. Slow down and stay alert, especially when traveling through areas, where deer are known to cross the roadway.

What to do after a car/deer accident;

-Pull off the roadway as soon as it’s safe to do so.
-Turn on your hazard lights and remain in your vehicle until you are sure it is safe to exit your vehicle.
-Call 911 if there are personal injuries and or the local police for property damage.
-STAY AWAY from the deer. If the deer is still alive, it could be injured and or confused and could be dangerous if approached.

And if you choose to do so, you can request a road kill permit from a law enforcement officer that allows you to take the deer carcass for processing.

Be SAFE and enjoy the fall season.
