0

A 27-year-old Scottsburg woman was arrested yesterday by the Indiana State Police and charged with possession of Heroin hidden in a body cavity. 

It is not known where she was hiding the drugs. 

Yesterday shortly after 2:30 pm, trooper Nathan Abbott made a traffic stop on Interstate #65 northbound near the 29 Mile Marker on a blue van for a traffic infraction.

Once the traffic stop was made ISP K-9 Teague was deployed and alerted on the vehicle as to possibly contain controlled substances.

During a search of the vehicle, used syringes, plastic baggies and other paraphernalia was located.

After further investigation it was discovered that the driver of the vehicle, Alexandrea E. Grut, 27, from East Jefferson Street in Scottsburg, was in possession of Heroin hidden in a body cavity.

Grut was charged with Possession of Heroin, Maintaining a Common Nuisance, Possession of a Syringe and Possession of Paraphernalia.

Grut was placed under arrest and transported to the Scott County Jail. Once at the jail the hidden Heroin was confiscated.

This investigation is continuing.

Lawrence County Man Arrested After Fleeing Police

0

Cody Lee Jent, 26, of Bedford was charged with theft and two counts of resisting law enforcement from an incident that began at 2:15 p.m. when a clerk at a gas station told Jackson County Officer Adam Nicholson that a man in a red Dodge Durango had failed to pay for his fuel.

Nicholson said in his report he had seen the man in the truck as he drove away from the Energy Plus station on Commerce Street (U.S. 50) on the west side of Brownstown.

Nicholson said he had located the truck about a mile west of the county seat and pursued it.

The driver of the truck, later identified as Jent, failed to stop and turned north off of U.S. 50 onto County Road 350W and traveled about a quarter of a mile before stopping, Nicholson said.

At that point, Nicholson said the driver went north on foot into a wooded area and the man had been ordered to drop an black object he had in his hand.

he man refused to drop the item and police assumed he may have been armed, Nicholson said.

Sheriff Michael Carothers and other county officers including Lt. Darin Downs, officers Rob Henley and Rick Meyer, and county Reserve Officer Brent Terry arrived in the area along with Brownstown officers John Long and John Reichenbacker and Chief Tom Hanner.

Long went to the north end of the woods and saw the male step out of the woods and then duck back in and head south.

County detectives Bob Lucas, Tom Barker and Ben Rudolph also arrived to help with the search. While searching and completing an inventory of the Durango, Lucas learned Jent was wanted out of Lawrence County for battery causing serious bodily injury and the license plate on the Durango had been stolen from Florence, Kentucky.

Seymour Officer Adam Surface also brought his dog to the woods and an Indiana State Police helicopter was called to assist although the canopy of the woods was too thick to look for Jent from the air, Nicholson said.

A search of the wooded area conducted by Surface and other officers eventually led to the discovery and arrest of Jent, Nicholson said.

A review of the dash camera in Nicholson’s squad car showed the item Jent was carrying at the time he fled his vehicle was possibly a wallet.

Jent was transported by jail commander Charlie Murphy and booked into the Jackson County Jail at 6:01 p.m. Tuesday.

Jent is being held without bond at this time pending his initial hearing in Jackson Circuit Court.

Names Released – Two From Jasper Killed on Moped

0

Names of two people killed in a two-vehicle moped crash on State Road 56 west of Ireland Saturday evening have been released.

Investigators believe James Posey, 26, of Jasper, and his passenger, 25-year-old Ashley Stephens, also of Jasper, had stopped their moped in the eastbound lane of State Road 56, just west of County Road 600 West near Ireland. 

Just after stopping, they were struck by a 1995 Dodge Ram truck, driven by 27-year-old Benjamin Braunecker of Jasper. 

Braunecker was unable to see the moped as he was approaching until the last moment, and was unable to avoid the collision.

Families of the deceased have been notified. 

The crash remains under investigation by Indiana State Police crash reconstructionists.  

At 8:35 PM, Braunecker was traveling eastbound on State Road 56, east of County Road 600 West, when he encountered a moped with two riders, stopped in the roadway. 

Braunecker was unable to avoid the moped and struck them with his 1995 Dodge Ram pick-up truck, dragging the moped almost 200 feet before coming to a stop. 

One rider was thrown from the moped, the second was pinned under the truck.

The driver of the moped was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Dubois County Coroner’s Office.  The passenger was transported to Memorial Hospital in Jasper, where she died shortly after arriving.

State Police was assisted by the Dubois County Sheriff’s Department, Ireland Fire Department, Memorial Hospital EMS, and the Dubois County Coroner’s Office.
