A Loogootee native was arrested this morning after an investigation into his involvement in domestic violence actions last weekend.
Arrested and Charged was Jayce Patrick Wagoner, 20, Loogootee, IN
– Strangulation, Level 6 Felony
– Intimidation, Level 6 Felony
– Criminal Confinement, Level 6 Felony
– Domestic Battery, Class A Misdemeanor
Early Sunday morning, the Loogootee Police Department and the Martin County Sheriff’s Department responded to 502 Butcher Boulevard, Loogootee, on reports of a female being threatened with a gun.
Officers arrived to find that the individuals involved in the dispute were separated, and no charges were filed.
Later Sunday, Senior Trooper Jarrod Lents was contacted regarding the female involved in the morning dispute and informed Lents that she choked by her boyfriend, 20 year old Jayce Wagoner of Loogootee.
Lents was also informed that if any police report was filed in the matter, Wagoner was going to beat up officers as well as the female. Lents additionally learned that earlier in the weekend, Wagoner had threatened to shoot and kill his girlfriend.
This morning at 10:48 A.M., Lents served an arrest warrant through the Martin County Circuit Court on Wagoner at 502 Butcher Boulevard.
Wagoner was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Martin County Jail.
28-year-old Joshua Risinger pled not-guilty this afternoon in Washington County Circuit Court to a murder charge he’s facing after he told police he set fire to his trailer at Southway Villa Mobile Home Park Tuesday night.
A dead body was found in the remnants of the fire.
Police are still investigating to find out who the body is. Their only clue is that Risinger told ISP Detectives he had started the fire to kill “Gilbert” who had apparently been living there.
The body was found in the living room of the trailer.
Washington County Circuit Judge Larry Medlock assigned Andrew Wright to represent Risinger.
Risinger remains charged with only one count of Murder, a Class A Felony.
Earlier today the Prosecutor’s office said they chose to file only murder charge at this time because it appears that the fire was started with the intent to kill.
Risinger is currently being held at the Washington County Detention Center without bail.
The Kentucky Medical Examiner did an autopsy on the body recovered from the fire on Wednesday and was not able to determine a cause of death or an identity.
Further testing will be done to make a determination.
Salem Fire Chief Tom Day said he was working with the State Fire Marshall to determine a cause of the fire.
The pre-trial conference has been set for April 20 at 9a.
The jury trial has been set for Oct. 3 at 8:30a.
After 9 seasons and an 18-16 season with a final disappointing loss Tuesday to Georgia Tech in the NIT, Tom Crean, 50, is gone as head coach of the Indiana Hoosiers.
“After deliberative thought and evaluation, including multiple meetings with Tom about the future, I have decided to make a change in the leadership of our men’s basketball program,” Indiana director of athletics Fred Glass said in a statement. “Tom Crean brought us through one of the most challenging periods in IU basketball history, led his players to many successes in the classroom and on the court and represented our university with class and integrity.”
Glass’ statement said that the school is seeking “more consistent, high levels of success.”
Glass said that he has been charged to find a new coach. He will not create a search committee but said that he will consult with basketball experts around the country, including former Indiana players.
“The national search for our new coach begins immediately,” said Glass. ‘The Board of Trustees and the President have expressly delegated to me the responsibility and authority for this search and hire. While I will not be establishing a formal search committee or advisory committee, I will consult with basketball experts from around the country and throughout the State of Indiana, including many former Indiana University basketball players. The expectations for Indiana University basketball are to perennially contend for and win multiple Big Ten championships, regularly go deep in the NCAA tournament, and win our next national championship—and more after that. We will identify and recruit a coach who will meet these expectations.”
Crean was 148-118 overall and 64-80 in Big Ten play heading into this season, and the Hoosiers got off to a strong start before struggling and finishing 18-16 overall and 7-11 in league play.
Crean was the head coach at Marquette for nine seasons before taking over at Indiana. At Marquette, he was 190-96 overall and made five NCAA tournament appearances. He went to the Final Four in 2003 behind a breakout performance from Dwyane Wade.
Crean also spent time as an assistant coach at Michigan State, Pittsburgh, Western Kentucky and Alma College.
He signed a contract extension in 2012 to keep him in Bloomington through 2020. His buyout went from $12 million to $4 million in the past two years.

Details are emerging about an arson fire that involved a dead body Tuesday night in Salem’s Southway Villa Mobile Home Park.
Although an autopsy was unable to divulge the identity of the body found, the probable cause affidavit states during an interview with police, the alleged murderer killed a male in the fire.
28-year-old Salem man Joshua Risinger allegedly told police he killed a man named “Gilbert” by starting a fire in the home.
He has been charged with one count of Murder, a Class A Felony.
Rumors swelled on social media Wednesday, noting that Resinger had killed a homeless man.
Indiana State Police Sgt. Jerry Goodin said they were working on leads, but had no identity of the victim.
Goodin said further testing will be done to determine if the victim was killed before the fire or as a result of the fire.
According to the probable cause affidavit filed by ISP Detective Matt Busick, Risinger told police the mobile home belonged to him.
Det. Busick said this was not a complete statement of facts, but established probable cause for police to make the arrest.
Risinger has been held without bond and will appear in court today for his initial hearing at 2p.
Salem Fire Department received the call at 7:03p after Lenny Hays called 911 and said her neighbors house was on fire.
Salem Fire Department firefighters were on the scene from about 7p until early Wednesday investigating the fire. When they had extinguished the fire, fire fighters found a deceased body inside the mobile home.
The home was located at 212 Teresa Street and was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived.
According to police, mobile home park manager Roddy Humphrey said he saw a man he knew lived in the burning home walking through the mobile home park.
Humphrey said the man was wearing a jacket, had something over his head and was carrying a duffel bag.
Salem Police Officer Alex Bilbrey patrolled the area and found the man walking on Jackson Street.
Bilbrey along with Assistant Police Chief Tim Miller stopped him and he was identified as Risinger and the owner of the home. He told police, according to the affidavit, that the trailer was on fire and he had just walked away.
Miller came to the scene of the fire and was told by officer Russell Wilcoxson that fire fighters had found the body in the middle of the living room.
Originally the State Police noted that Risinger was arrested on Arson and Murder charges. However, Risinger has only officially been charged with murder.
According to the Washington County Prosecutor’s office, the Prosecutor’s office chose to file only [a] murder [charge] at this time because it appears that the fire was started with the intent to kill.
An autopsy was performed Wednesday morning by the Kentucky Medical Examiner’s Office in Louisville, KY on the remains.
The autopsy was unable to determine the cause of death pending further test results. The autopsy was also unable to positively identify the human body located, until further tests are completed.
Salem Fire Chief Tom Day said he was on the scene until early this morning with the Indiana State Fire Marshall to help investigate the crime.
Day said it would be a few days before a cause of the fire could be determined. “That information will be released by the state police,” said Day.
According to Indiana State Police, the autopsy performed on a body recovered from a trailer fire last night in Salem, was unable to ID the body or provide information into the cause of death.
Earlier today, ISP Sgt. Jerry Goodin would not release information regarding the gender of the body, but some posts on social media believe the person was possibly a homeless male.
WSLM has not been able to confirm that with authorities.

A Salem man was arrested last night for murder and arson involving a trailer fire in Southway Villa late Tuesday.
Joshua B. Risinger, 28, 221 South Teresa Street, was booked into the Washington County Detention Center last night.
The victim that was located inside of the mobile home has not yet been identified.
Indiana State Police Public Information Officer Sgt. Jerry Goodin said this morning he cannot release details on the victim’s gender.
An autopsy will be performed by the Kentucky Medical Examiner’s Office in Louisville, KY this morning to determine the cause of death and the identity of the victim.
The fire was reported at approximately 7:00 pm to the Salem City Fire Department. The fire was located at 221 Teresa Street in Salem.
According to the Salem Fire Department, the fire was “well involved” when the department arrived with “flames coming out the windows.”
After the fire was extinguished, a burned human body was located inside of the mobile home.
The owner of the residence, Risinger, was located at the scene and was interviewed by Indiana State Police Detectives.
The resulting information gathered from Risinger resulted in his arrest for Murder and Arson.
The Salem City Police Department was at the scene and requested Indiana State Police Crime Scene Investigators and Indiana State Police Detectives to assist at the scene.
The Washington County Prosecutor, Washington County Sheriff’s Department, Indiana State Fire Marshall and the Washington County Coroner are assisting in the investigation.
