Pursuit of Stolen Vehicle Ends with Arrest of Columbus Man
Early this morning, at approximately 3:00 am, the Indiana State Police arrested a Columbus man following a pursuit of a vehicle that had just been stolen from a Columbus business.
The incident occurred when Trooper Korry Clark attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a 2006 Black Volkswagen Jetta at the intersection of State Road 46 and County Road 500 West in Bartholomew County for not having working taillights.
The vehicle, driven by Nathaniel L. Jones-Knight, age 18, Columbus, Indiana then fled from Trp. Clark. At the same time, the Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Department received information that the vehicle Trp. Clark was pursuing had just been stolen from the Taco Bell located on 25th Street in Columbus.
Jones-Knight led Trp. Clark and other officers on a pursuit that lasted ten minutes at speeds between 20 and 60 mph.
The vehicle ended in the Harrison Lakes neighborhood where it began to have mechanical troubles. Jones-Knight stopped the vehicle on Raintree Drive about a mile west of County Road 525 West, where he then fled from the vehicle on foot.
Trooper Jacob Tolle and Bartholomew County Deputy Lanning soon found Jones-Knight hiding nearby. He was then taken into custody without further incident.
He was also found to be in possession of suspected methamphetamine and hypodermic syringe.
Jones-Knight was transported to Columbus Regional Hospital where he submitted to a blood draw for intoxication.
He was then transported to the Bartholomew County Jail where he was incarcerated on charges of Auto Theft, Possession of Methamphetamine, Resisting Law Enforcement in a Vehicle, Possession of a Hypodermic Syringe, Criminal Recklessness with a Vehicle, and Operating While Intoxicated (Controlled Substance).
Jones-Knight will soon be given an initial court date to appear in Bartholomew County.
Trooper Clark was assisted by Trooper Jacob Tolle as well as officers from the Columbus Police Department and Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Department.

Hanover Coach Gets 200th Win
Behind its best offensive output in the Jon Miller era, the Hanover men’s basketball team earned coach Miller his 200th career victory, with a 118-65 win over Ohio State-Lima in the Defiance Purple & Gold Financial Invitational.
Miller’s head coaching career began at Defiance during the 2003-04 season, as he earned his first collegiate coaching victory against Grace on Nov. 22, 2003, and his 200th win came at Defiance as well, just over 13 years later. Overall, Miller has a career coaching record of 200-151, a .570 winning percentage.
The win also marks Hanover’s sixth straight victory, as they improve to 9-1 overall. The 10-game start is the best beginning for HC under Miller’s guidance, and the first 9-1 start for the Blue and Red since the 2003-04 campaign.
Hanover nearly tied the program’s all-time scoring record of 127 points, which was set back in 1969. The Panthers shot .644 (47-73) from the field, setting a new season high, while also making 13-of-27 three point attempts.
Overall, 13 of the 15 players that appeared in the contest for HC scored, while eight different players scored at least seven points against the Barons.
Senior Corey Muchmore (Cincinnati, Ohio) paced the Panthers with 22 points on a perfect 11-for-11 shooting. Muchmore nearly tied a school record for most made field goals without a miss, as Marc O’Leary was a perfect 12-of-12 from the field versus Westminster back in 2006. The senior added six rebounds as well to lead the team.
Freshman Logan Ratts (Martinsville, Ind.) poured in 15 points in 20 minutes of action. Ratts also dished out a career high eight assists to lead HC, while grabbing four rebounds as well. Junior Colin Smith (Cincinnati, Ohio) added five helpers, giving him five assists in each of the past three games.
Off the bench, freshman Zach Anderson (Martinsville, Ind.) scored a career high 15 points, all of which came from behind the arc, where he was 5-of-8 shooting. Classmate Kevin Williams (Edinburgh, Ind.) and sophomore Lucas Miller (Clarksville, Ind.) each added nine points off the bench as well.
A pair of juniors in Levi Buck (Pendleton, Ind.) and Wes McKinney (Batesville, Ind.) each scored 11 points in the starting lineup.
Freshman Jackson Crawford (Cold Springs, Ky.) scored seven points off the bench, on 3-of-5 shooting, while classmate Blake Robertson (Greenfield, Ind.) recorded five points and four assists.
The Panthers controlled the glass, logging a 38-25 advantage in total rebounds. Hanover also committed a season low seven turnovers, while forcing the Barons into 19 giveaways.
Hanover has now scored at least 100 points three times during the Miller era, but the 118 points against the Barons marked the first time HC has done so in regulation. The 68 first half points for the Blue and Red also marked a new season high.
The Panthers will return to Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference play next week, but will stay on the road, as they travel to Rose-Hulman for a 7:30 p.m. tip on Wednesday, Jan. 4.

NICE IS NAMED THE 2017 LECS RECIPIENT
Jaelen Nice has been named the recipient of a four-year, full tuition scholarship as the Washington County Community Foundation 2017 Lilly Endowment Community Scholar.
Nice was surprised after basketball practice with the assistance of coach, Hank Weedin. Lindsey Wade-Swift with the Washington County Community Foundation and Weedin collaborated and decided to bring Nice in to brainstorm ideas of how to encourage more students to attend the basketball game in January for which there are free tickets.
“Most students are ready to go home after a long day of school and practice, but Jaelen was more than willing to meet with us. In fact, he was going to shoot more baskets after practice. That’s very telling of his character and drive,” Wade-Swift stated.
“When I found out, I really didn’t know what to think. I was excited and humbled at the same time. I just feel very blessed to have an opportunity like this. It still doesn’t seem real to me yet. I’m just so incredibly thankful,” states Nice.
Jaelen plans on pursuing a degree in Biochemistry or Radiology and is leaning towards attending Anderson University.
He is an integral part of the Lions Tennis team and Basketball team, a member of Student Council, the Washington County Youth Foundation, Vice- President of National Honor Society, Science Club, Booster Club, FCA President, and Vice-President of the Senior Class.
Nice participates in several community service projects such as Dare to Care food distribution, Jump Start, school blood drives, Relay for Life, VBS, and many more.
He has also received many athletic and academic awards including Tennis All-Conference, FCA Christian Athlete Award, National History Day Career Award, and academic excellence in math, English, history, Spanish, and science.
Thirty-four applications were turned in for the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship to the Washington County Community Foundation.
The WCCF has developed a score sheet and ranking based on criteria that includes: GPA, SAT/ACT scores, Financial Need, First Generation College Student, Activities, Community Service, Honors/Awards, and Essay.
The top students are then chosen to interview in front of the WCCF Scholarship Committee. After the Washington County Community Foundation scholarship committee narrowed the field to 4 nominees, the finalists’ names were submitted to Independent Colleges of Indiana, Inc. (ICI) for the selection of the recipients.
ICI is a nonprofit corporation that represents 31 regionally accredited degree granting, nonprofit, private colleges and universities in the state.
The scholarships are the result of a statewide Lilly Endowment initiative to help Hoosier students reach higher levels of education. Indiana ranks among the lowest states in the percentage of residents over the age of 25 with a bachelor’s degree. There were 142 scholarships awarded statewide.
Washington County Community Foundation is a nonprofit public charity established in 1993 to serve donors, award grants, and provide leadership to improve Washington County forever.
