Sex Offender Verification Underway in County

0

US Marshalls worked with State and local officials on Monday to do an address check of more than 60 sex offenders in Washington County.

“We try to do this three times a year,” said Washington County Sheriff Roger Newlon. “It’s a good idea to make sure everyone is where they say they are.”

Also, the US Marshall provided equipment for the Sheriff’s Department to use specifically for sex offender police work.

“They asked us if we needed anything to be put on a wish list,” said Newlon. “We had an old camera we used to take pictures. So they provided a new camera, computer and scanner just to be used for this.”

A federal agent, state police and a member of the local sheriff’s department along with a member of the probation department spread out Monday in four groups around the county.

Newlon said it would take a few days to complete the process.

Officers approached the homes where the sex offenders in Washington County are registered.

“We just like to make sure they are living where they say they are living,” said Newlon.

He used the example that by law sex offenders are not allowed to live within 1000 feet of a school or day care.

Newlon said they approach a home, knock on the door and make inquiries if the offender is living there.

“If we find evidence they are not there, that starts a legal process,” said Newlon. “Or if we find they are violating their probation in some way — that can lead to additional charges.”

If members of the public want to search the sex offender database and learn if there are offenders living near them, they can go to http://sheriffalerts.com/cap_main.php?office=54887

The Washington County IN Sheriff’s Office maintains an OffenderWatch® portal as a community service.

There is a presentation on the website to help you get a better understanding of the facts about registered sex offenders and what the local office is doing to comply with the law.

Those interested can also sign up for email alerts on the above site.

Washington County Prosecutor Dustin Houchin told the officers he would assist with filing any charges if they were to find someone in violation of their probation.

Four groups set out after lunch on Monday, each with 10-11 names. Newlon and Pekin Town Marshall Jeff Thomas each led a group.

“We’re not only checking to make sure they’re at the correct address, but also looking to see if they have weapons, child porn, etc.” said one federal agent.

Purse Snatcher Leads Police On Chase Into Clark County

0

Washington County Deputy Sheriff Brent Miller assisted with a police chase that led to the arrest of an adult male who stole a purse earlier in the afternoon from a shopper at the Salem JayC store.

Kyle Deely, 31, Louisville, KY, will likely be charged with one count of theft.

A passenger with Deely, 32-year-old Christa King, of Palm Drive, Salem, could possibly be charged with aiding.

Deely was arrested and returned to Washington Count where he was treated for minor injuries he received when his vehicle crashed on SR 111. at St. Vincent Hospital.

According to Salem City Police Detective Ronnie Mays, Deely went into the JayC Store this afternoon about 5p and while Jennifer Bowers, of Salem, was bending over to pick something up from the bottom shelf, he stole the purse out of her cart.

“She tried to catch him and he ran out of the store and got into his 2002 GMC Yukon,” said Mays. “The vehicle was sitting outside the JayC Store ready to go.”

“He probably thought he could get a little farther away. Most of the time we don’t catch these people,” Mays said. “When they run and they’re from another state, it’s hard to find them.”

unnamed (1)
Police pursued this 2002 Silver GMC Yukon owned and driven by Klye Deely, 31, Louisville, from Salem to Clark County, where it finally wrecked crossing the railroad tracks on SR 111.

About 5:15p, the 911 Dispatch announced that a Silver SUV with a Kentucky license plate was being driven by an adult male who had stolen the purse.

Deputy Brad Naugle found a purse that had been thrown out along Jackson Street.

Mays said the purse was thrown out in front of the Sheriff’s Department.  Bowers’ wallet had been removed from the purse. “That’s how we knew which direction he was going.” 

“He asked over the police radio what color the purse was,” said Miller. “It was pink. The guy had taken the cash or credit cards out of it and tossed the purse. I figured he was leaving Salem on his way back to Kentucky so I drove to Newlon’s store to wait.”

Miller said he hadn’t been there but about a minute when the vehicle drove by.

 

Miller said, “I called district to repeat the plate number. I advised I’m following it East until we can get some marked units to help with a traffic stop. I figured I would follow him to keep him in sight.”

Miller said he got to Deam’s Lake and he started seeing police units from other agencies.

The driver saw them too and began to speed up,” said Miller.

The police units tried to box him in at the intersection of State Road 60 and State Road 111. The driver drove through a yard and down SR 111 at high speed.

“At that time it became a high speed pursuit,” said Miller. “I knew he would never make that turn on 111 by the railroad tracks. He didn’t. He lost control.  He had two flat tires…totally disabled. He ended up going off the road and wrecked on the railroad tracks and then fled on foot.”

Mays said King said in an interview this evening that she had tried to get Deely to stop.

Miller said he and Indiana Conservation Officer Bo Spainhour pursued Delly and apprehended him.

Miller said multiple police agencies were involved in the pursuit — Sellersburg Police Department, Clarksville Police Department, DNR officials, Clark and Floyd County Sheriff’s Departments.

Mays said officers were going to be inspecting the vehicle tonight to see if there would be additional items relevant to the case.

He said he anticipated charges being filed from Clark County against Deely for fleeing in a vehicle.

0

A Marysville man is accused of shooting two of his family members in the head during a fight.

Gary Cooper, 63, was arrested and charged with two counts of attempted murder, criminal recklessness, aggravated battery, and pointing a firearm.

11549524_G

The Clark County Sheriff’s Office says the suspect, Gary Cooper, 63, and two victims, Tom Cooper and Tim Wolfe were found Saturday in the 17000 block of Michigan Road in Marysville.

According to police, the situation began with an argument between Gary Cooper and his brother, Tom Cooper at their mother’s home in Marysville.

After Gary Cooper left the home, police say Tom Cooper got into a truck and caught up with his brother on Michigan Road.

During a fight between the two, police say Gary Cooper shot his brother in the head with a Ruger .380 pistol.

Tom Cooper went back to his mother’s home and Gary Cooper followed.

As the mother of the suspect and the victim let Tom Cooper into the home, Gary Cooper is then accused of shooting his nephew, Tim Wolfe in the head while in the home’s driveway.

Wolfe went to a nearby vehicle and retrieved a .45 caliber pistol and fired three shots into the air.

Police say Gary Cooper then shot Wolfe in the stomach.

Tom Cooper and Tim Wolfe were both flown to University Hospital in Louisville.

Tom Cooper’s injuries are considered “life-threatening,” while Wolfe’s injuries were labeled “serious.”

Gary Cooper was arrested and in the Clark County Jail.

State Trooper Injured In Accident Friday Night

0

Friday at 9:00 pm, an Indiana State Trooper was injured in a crash when his vehicle was struck by a commercial motor vehicle northbound on I-65 at the 38 mile marker near Crothersville, Indiana.

Trooper Michael Thiron was initially dispatched to the area of the 38 mile marker for a previous crash with injuries in which a southbound vehicle slid into the cable barrier.

user39940-1472318084-media1

Trooper Thiron was traveling northbound on I-65 in his fully marked 2013 Dodge Charger police vehicle when he arrived on the scene.  With his emergency lights activated, Trp. Thiron attempted to change lanes from the shoulder of I-65 into the median where the crashed vehicle was located.

Thiron’s vehicle was struck from behind by a 2012 Freightliner pulling a box trailer, driven by Patrick Gregory, age 30, Indianapolis, Indiana.

Thiron’s vehicle spun into the median and came to rest up against the cable barrier. Thiron was transported to Schneck Medical Center for treatment of possible head injuries.  He was treated and released last night.  Gregory was not injured in the crash.

Northbound lanes were slow for approximately two hours for crash investigation and cleanup.  The investigation is ongoing.

Trp. Thiron has served with the Indiana State Police for approximately one year.

The crash is being investigated by Trooper Matt Holley.  Trp. Holley was assisted by numerous other troopers with the Indiana State Police, the Crothersville Police Department, Jackson County EMS, and the Vernon Township Fire Department.

0

 

A Spencer County man remains behind bars after a Saturday morning argument became physical.

Arrested was Corey L. Collignon, 26, Saint Meinrad, IN.

He was charged with:

  • Criminal Confinement Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury, Level 3 Felony
  • Domestic Battery Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury, Level 5 Felony
  • Battery Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury, Level 5 Felony\
  • Invasion of Privacy, Class A Misdemeanor
  • Resisting Law Enforcement, Class A Misdemeanor

Around 9:30 A.M. Saturday, the Spencer County Emergency Dispatch received a report of a female who had been severely battered by her boyfriend and was being held against her will in a Saint Meinrad residence.

user33681-1472473468-media1
Troopers Trey Lytton and Ryan Conrad arrived to find a 24 year old female standing outside with a swollen and bloody eye, and bruises on her face, arms and legs.

The female told troopers that she had been in a verbal argument with her boyfriend, 26 year old Corey Collignon of Saint Meinrad. Troopers learned that Collignon punched the female in the eye, knocking her to the floor.

Collignon then grabbed the female by the wrist and dragged her through the living room, kitchen, and a bedroom before dragging her into another room in the house.

Troopers learned that Collignon refused to let the female leave the house by holding her down on the ground and taking her car keys.

The female was able to make a phone call for help and waited inside until officers arrived.

Troopers Lytton and Conrad, with Spencer County Deputies Dale Kessinger, Justin Hester and his K-9 partner “Ciro” searched the residence and property but were unable to find Collignon.

Deputy Hester began a K-9 track to attempt to find Collignon, later finding him in a field. Collignon attempted to run from officers before being taken into custody.

Collignon was transported to and lodged in the Spencer County Jail on multiple felony charges. Collignon was additionally charged with violating a protective and no contact order placed against him.
