Bond Denied for Hamble

0

Washington County Circuit Judge Larry Medlock denied bond for Joe Hamble who is in jail on two felony counts of murder in the August 20 shooting of two from Salem.

Medlock said setting a bond would not be appropriate at this time.

A bond hearing was scheduled on Tuesday when Hamble first appeared before Judge Medlock. At that time, Medlock appointed Mark Clark as Hamble’s defense attorney and entered a not-guilty plea.

Hamble was arrested by the Indiana State Police early Saturday evening and charged with Murder, Two Counts, both Felonies, for the deaths of Valerie E. Dicus, 37, and Joseph R. Hobson, 36.

Hamble, 29, 1023 Aspen Drive, Apartment 13, told officers Saturday he used a .32 caliber handgun to kill Hobson at 304 West Small Street.

He also told police the gun went off in a struggle with Hobson and accidentally shot Dicus — whom he was related to —  when he went to the home early Saturday morning because he believed they were dealing drugs there.

A tornado in Northern Indiana flattened this Starbucks restaurant in Kokomo.
“All of the reported injuries are considered minor at this time,” the state police said. “Most of the injuries were the result of flying debris. There are no reported deaths.”
Senator Dan Coats (R-Ind.)released the following statement regarding the severe weather that occurred in Indiana yesterday:
“I am relieved that no lives were lost during yesterday’s severe weather across Indiana. While the damage is significant in parts of our state, we know that Hoosiers will come together and help each other rebuild. I will work with Governor Pence, the administration, FEMA and the Indiana delegation to ensure Hoosiers receive the assistance needed to recover.”
Kokomo Mayor Greg Goodnight said the storm caused “pretty severe property damage” and downed many trees.
“I am in a residential neighborhood and there is a lot of roof damage, windows out, a roof completely taken off the home, power out,” he said. “It is pretty substantial. I have seen damage to about 50 homes so far. We are still looking at the damage.”
