Star-Studded Teams Announced for Inaugural Kid Rock’s Rock N Rodeo in Arlington, Texas, at AT&T Stadium on May 17

0

Holding a combined 54 World Championships, more than 400 National Finals Rodeo qualifications and $89 million in career-earnings, the drafted athletes will compete in historic $1-million team-formatted rodeo mashed up with a Kid Rock concert inside the home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys

Kid Rock’s Rock N Rodeo to launch the Biggest Weekend in Western Sports, followed by the PBR World Finals: Unleash The Beast – Championship on May 18-19

ARLINGTON, Texas (March 12, 2024) – Ahead of the debut of Kid Rock’s Rock N Rodeo in Arlington, Texas, on May 17, the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) and Kid Rock today announced the star-studded lineup of rodeo royalty who will form five of the six competing rosters in the landmark $1-million team rodeo event.

The drafted athletes include the most talented athletes to ever compete on dirt. Collectively they have earned 54 World Championships in the PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association) and WPRA (Women’s Professional Rodeo Association), 39 aggregate wins and more than 400 qualifications to the National Finals Rodeo (NFR), while amassing more than $89 million in career earnings.

Kid Rock’s Rock N Rodeo is a reimagined rodeo produced by PBR in partnership with Kid Rock. Six teams, each led by a legendary rodeo head coach, will compete head-to-head in bracket-style competition at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on May 17 for a $1 million purse. Within the new $1-million team-formatted rodeo, Kid Rock will perform live in concert.

The rosters for the teams are:

Convoy (Head Coach Cody Ohl and Assistant Coach Saylor Ohl)

  • Bareback Riding: Kade Sonnier and Tim O’Connell Barrel Racing: Stevi Hillman and Tessa Arnold
  • Breakaway Roping: Sarah Angelone and Shelby Boisjoli-Meged
  • Saddle Bronc Riding: Gus Gaillard and Layton Green
  • Steer Wrestling: Jesse Brown and JD Struxness
  • Tie-Down Roping: Riley Webb and Ty Harris
  • Team Roping: Dustin Egusquiza (Header)/Levi Lord (Heeler) and Clay Smith (Header)/Coleby Payne (Heeler)

The Convoy and Sledge Hammers made noise following the draft, executing the first, and only, athlete trade for the Kid Rock’s Rock N Rodeo.  Convoy initially selected Shad Mayfield third overall and traded him to the Sledge Hammers for Webb, the fifteenth overall selection.

Tie-down roper Webb is one of two reigning World Champions on the Convoy, joined by 2023 breakaway roping title holder Boisjoli-Meged. The team has earned a combined eight world titles, including 2022 WPRA All-Around Champion Angelone who was selected fourth overall by the team in the draft, and the only breakaway athlete selected in the first 37 picks.

Jokers (Head Coach Sid Steiner and Assistant Coach Joe Beaver)

  • Bareback Riding: Rocker Steiner and Jesse Pope
  • Barrel Racing: Brittany Pozzi Tonozzi and Steely Steiner
  • Breakaway Roping: Cheyanne McCartney and Jordi Edens
  • Saddle Bronc Riding: Brody Cress and Wyatt Casper
  • Steer Wrestling: Dirk Tavenner and Dakota Eldridge
  • Tie-Down Roping: Haven Meged and Shane Hanchey
  • Team Roping: Derrick Begay (Header)/Cory Petska (Heeler) and Erich Rogers (Header)/Paul Eaves (Heeler)

Under the leadership of Head Coach Steiner, the Jokers began the Kid Rock N Rodeo draft with a bang, making quick trades with the Misty Mountain Hop to obtain the No. 1 selection. With the pick, Steiner drafted his son, two-time NFR qualifying bareback rider Rocker Steiner. Making it a family affair, later in the draft, Steiner completed his barrel-racing lineup by drafting his daughter Steely Steiner.

The Jokers feature three-time and reigning World Champion barrel racer Pozzi Tonozzi. The contingent leads the five assembled teams in NFR qualifications with a commanding 117 appearances at the prestigious rodeo event, of which they have won the aggregate 18 times. 

Low Riders (Head Coach Trevor Brazile and Assistant Coach Dale Brisby)

  • Bareback Riding: Leighton Berry and Jacob Lees
  • Barrel Racing: Sherry Cervi and Amanda Welsh
  • Breakaway Roping: Martha Angelone and Kelsie Chace Domer  
  • Saddle Bronc Riding: Sage Newman and Kade Bruno
  • Steer Wrestling: Tyler Pearson and Kyle Irwin
  • Tie-Down Roping: Tuf Cooper and Cory Solomon
  • Team Roping: Clint Summers (Header)/Jake Long (Heeler) and Cody Snow (Header)/Hunter Koch (Heeler)

Anchored by veteran contenders and four-time World Champions Cervi in barrel racing, the draft’s ninth overall pick, and Cooper, the draft’s 19th overall pick, in tie-down roping, the Low Riders have been a consistent presence at the NFR, with a combined 94 qualifications and six aggregate wins.

Misty Mountain Hop (Head Coach Charmayne James and Assistant Coach Justin McKee)

  • Bareback Riding: Cole Reiner and Mason Clements
  • Barrel Racing: Wenda Johnson and LaTricia Duke
  • Breakaway Roping: Danielle Lowman and Jordan Hollabaugh
  • Saddle Bronc Riding: Statler Wright and Lefty Holman
  • Steer Wrestling: Tyler Waguespack and Stetson Jorgensen
  • Tie-Down Roping: Caleb Smidt and Westyn Hughes
  • Team Roping: Kaleb Driggers (Header)/Junior Nogueira (Heeler) and Tyler Wade (Header)/Wesley Thorp (Heeler)

Before the draft began, Head Coach James and Assistant Coach McKee made key trades with the Convoy and Jokers that allowed them to select more than half of their roster within the first 22 picks of the draft, building one of the event’s strongest rosters. With their early picks, they first selected five-time World Champion steer wrestler Waguespack eighth overall, followed by four-time NFR qualifying barrel racer Johnson tenth overall.

Those moves allowed them to assemble a roster that boasts 17 World Championships, including 2023 title holders Waguespack, and the team roping duo of Wade and Thorp, eight NFR aggregate wins, and 79 NFR qualifications.

Sledge Hammers (Head Coach Fred Whitfield and Assistant Coach Curtis Pederson)

  • Bareback Riding: Taylor Broussard and Tanner Aus
  • Barrel Racing: Stephanie Fryar and Ashley Castleberry
  • Breakaway Roping: Maddy Deerman and Taylor Munsell
  • Saddle Bronc Riding: Dawson Hay and Logan Hay
  • Steer Wrestling: Dalton Massey and Justin Shaffer
  • Tie-Down Roping: John Douch and Shad Mayfield
  • Team Roping: Coleman Proctor (Header)/Logan Medlin (Heeler) and Tanner Tomlinson (Header)/Patrick Smith (Heeler)

Whitfield and Pederson’s Sledge Hammers are anchored by World Champion Mayfield, alongside the team’s first selection in three-time NFR qualifying tie-down roper Douch. Like the Jokers, the Sledgehammers also have sibling competitors with Dawson and Logan Hay. With more than 50 NFR qualifications and four aggregate wins across the drafted athletes, the Sledge Hammers have assembled a young roster ready to make waves.

The final team for Kid Rock’s Rock N Rodeo, the Free Riders, led by Head Coach Bobby Mote and Assistant Coach Linsay Rosser-Sumpter, will be formed following conclusion of the WCRA’s (World Champions Rodeo Alliance) Rodeo Corpus Christi on May 11 in Corpus Christi, Texas. The top two finishers in each discipline at the event, not already selected by a team, will join the Free Riders. For more information on Rodeo Corpus Christi, visit wcrarodeo.com.

Kid Rock’s Rock N Rodeo will begin on Friday, May 17 at 7:45 p.m. CT inside AT&T Stadium.

Clarksville Man Arrested after Vehicle and Foot Pursuit

0

Indiana State Troopers arrested a Clarksville man on Clark County warrants and local charges after he led them on a vehicle pursuit and then fled on foot.  

Around 11:20 Monday morning, Trooper Kyle Taylor attempted to pull over a black 2010 Ford Fusion for speeding as the car traveled south on State Road 135 near Dutch Creek Road in Washington County.

When Trooper Taylor activated his emergency lights, the car pulled into the driveway of a nearby residence and started to stop. 

However, before the vehicle stopped, the driver, later identified as 41-year-old Anthony Arnold of Clarksville, Indiana, sped off through the yard and back onto the highway.  

Trooper Taylor gave pursuit, and other troopers and officers responded toward the area. 

The pursuit continued south on State Road 135 before turning onto Liberty Church Road and later South Palmyra Road. 

As the pursuit approached Strickland Road, Arnold exited the Fusion and fled on foot towards Blue River. 

Arnold crossed Blue River and was taken into custody in an open field shortly after by Trooper Jeremy Simcoe, who had responded to assist. 

Upon apprehending Anthony Arnold, officers discovered he was wanted out of Clark County, Indiana, for Possession of a Firearm by a Serious Violent Felon(a level 4 felony), Burglary(a level 5 felony), and Possession of Methamphetamine(a level 6 felony). Following his arrest, Arnold was transported to the Washington County Jail without incident after receiving medical clearance from EMS personnel.

In addition to the Clark County charges, officers charged Anthony Arnold with Resisting Law Enforcement with a Vehicle, a level 6 felony, and Resisting Law Enforcement, a class A misdemeanor. 

Deputies from the Washington County Sheriff’s Department and Washington County EMS personnel assisted troopers in this detail.

Officers arrested a Madison man on a warrant for possession of child pornography following a year-long investigation by Indiana State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force investigators.  

On Monday evening, Jefferson County deputies arrested 42-year-old Ryan K. Adams of Madison following an investigation initiated in April of 2023. The investigation began after task force officers allege Adams shared child pornography images with an undercover detective.   

In May 2023, detectives served a search warrant on Ryan Adam’s residence. Investigators then analyzed digital devices recovered during that search. On March 22, 2024, and as a result of the investigation, the Jefferson County Superior Court issued an arrest warrant for Ryan Adams for five counts of Possession of Child Pornography. Each charge is a level 5 felony.   

On Monday, March 25, 2024, Jefferson County deputies arrested Adams at his residence without incident. Officers then transported Adams to the Jefferson County Jail, where he is being held on a $50,000 cash-only bond.

Crawford was charged in Washington County with the following crimes: 

  1. Child Molesting – Level 1 Felony, two counts.  
  2. Child Molesting – Level 4 Felony, one count. 
  3. Tattooing a Minor – Class A Misdemeanor, one count. 

Crawford was charged in Clark County with the following crimes: 

  1. Child Seduction – Level 4 Felony, one count. 
  2. Sexual Misconduct with a Minor – Level 4 Felony, one count. 
  3. Child Solicitation – Level 4 Felony, one count. 

The investigation began in February 2024 when a Washington County school system resource officer contacted Detective Travis Baker and advised a child in the school had possibly been molested by an adult male.

Baker immediately began an investigation, which included a sexual assault forensic examination at a local hospital.

The investigation also included a forensic interview conducted at a local child advocacy center in conjunction with a caseworker with the Indiana Department of Child Services.  

Troopers served both warrants on Tuesday at the Washington County Jail, where James Crawford Jr. is incarcerated on unrelated charges.

Crawford is being held without bond in Washington County and has a $50,000 cash only bond on the Clark County charges.

Mitchell’s Heidelberg Materials named a recipient of $500 million in DOE funding

0

Heidelberg Materials North America is pleased to announce it has been selected for
award negotiation to receive up to $500 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) Industrial Demonstrations Program (IDP).

“I know Heidelberg, and I know their integrity and their commitment to excellence and ability to produce cement now in a new, sustainable, modern way. This is what Hoosiers are all about. We’ve long been pioneers, and now we’re pioneering the future of cement,” said Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb. 

The purpose of this project is to advance the integration of full-scale carbon capture, transport, and storage at the new state-of-the-art cement plant in Mitchell, Indiana.

The funding will build on prior funding that has been awarded by the DOE toward successfully completing the Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) work necessary to verify the project’s technical feasibility.

The application was submitted in 2023, and Heidelberg Materials will participate in substantial cost share that will leverage up to $500M in DOE project funding. The selection is part of the DOE’s Industrial Demonstrations Program to provide up to a total of $6 billion in funding to demonstrate commercial-scale decarbonization solutions needed to move energy-intensive industries toward net- zero across the U.S. and is one of 33 projects selected across 20 states as part of this program.

The new Mitchell cement plant, recently modernized to produce more than triple its previous capacity, incorporates features to minimize energy consumption and enable the use of alternative fuels and raw materials to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The proposed project for this funding award will capture, treat and prepare for storage or use approximately 2 million tons of CO 2 each year from the cement plant.

“This substantial federal funding will help create the first full-scale deployment of carbon capture and storage on a cement plant in the U.S.,” said Chris Ward, President and CEO of Heidelberg Materials North America.

“Through this project at the Mitchell facility, Heidelberg Materials is investing in leading the development and application of CCUS in our industry, and successful implementation of this technology at scale will play a critical role in achieving our goal of decarbonization,” continued Ward.

“Spurring on the next generation of decarbonization technologies in key industries like steel, paper, concrete, and glass will keep America the most competitive nation on Earth,” said U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm. “Thanks to President Biden’s industrial strategy, DOE is making the largest investment in industrial decarbonization in the history of the United States. These investments
will slash emissions from these difficult-to-decarbonize sectors and ensure American businesses and American workers remain at the forefront of the global economy.”

Heidelberg Materials is committed to leading the cement industry in developing viable carbon capture projects, which are essential to achieving the company’s ambitious sustainability goals.

Indiana State Police Reminds Hoosiers to Put Away Distractions while Behind the Wheel

0

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is launching a national high-visibility enforcement effort this April to deter distracted driving.

“Distractions behind the wheel can have devastating consequences,” said Devon McDonald, Indiana Criminal Justice Institute Executive Director. “We urge all motorists to focus on the road and avoid any activity that takes their attention away from driving safely.”

Law enforcement officers nationwide will work together to enforce texting and distracted-driving laws and remind people to put away distractions while on the road. This effort comes during National Distracted Driving Awareness Month.

“People know using their phone while driving is dangerous and often illegal, but they do it anyway, and put themselves and others at risk,” said Lieutenant Jason Allen. Drivers will see increased law enforcement efforts, as officers will be stopping and ticketing anyone who is caught texting and driving.”

Violating Indiana’s distracted driving laws can be costly. Violators of Indiana’s hands-free law could face a Class C infraction with fines of up to $500 and have points added to their license.

Cell phone use while driving is dangerous and illegal. Break the cycle. For more information, visit https://www.nhtsa.gov/campaign/distracted-driving.

Troopers with the Indiana State Police Versailles Post arrested a Greenwood man on felony drug and weapons charges Sunday. 

The arrest occurred when troopers stopped to check the driver’s well-being after his vehicle stalled in the roadway.  

Around nine Sunday morning, Trooper Randal Miller and Probationary Trooper Tyler Busch observed a black Ford SUV stopped on the side of US 50 just west of North Vernon. 

The vehicle partially blocked the eastbound lanes, so the troopers stopped to assist. 

The driver, later identified as 33-year-old Christopher Spall of Greenwood, Indiana, stated he did not need any assistance; however, the troopers observed signs of possible drug activity in the vehicle.

Troopers then deployed K9 Bosco, who alerted to the odor of drugs coming from the car. 

During a subsequent search of the SUV, officers located approximately 23 grams of suspected methamphetamine, a loaded AR-15-style rifle, marijuana, and paraphernalia.   

Jennings County Deputies Max Marcoux, Morgan Gabbard, and AJ Roney assisted the troopers during the stop.  Christopher Spall was transported to the Jennings County Jail and arrested on the following charges: 

  1. Possession of Methamphetamine with a firearm – Level 3 Felony.
  2. Possession of a Firearm by a Felon with Prior Conviction – Level 5 Felony.
  3. Possession of marijuana – Class B Misdemeanor.
  4. Possession of paraphernalia – Class C Misdemeanor.
