Seymour Man Arrested For Selling Heroin Laced with Horse Tranquilizer
Seymour Police arrested a man for selling “tainted” drugs in Seymour.
According to police, 34-year-old Michael Purvis is facing several charges of dealing in a controlled substance.
He is being held at the Jackson County Jail.
Purvis was arrested by Seymour Police, and is reportedly connected to several drug overdoses which occurred in Seymour and in Jennings County within the last 24 hours.
Officers used multiple doses of Narcan, (naloxone hydrochloride), a nasal spray used for emergency treatment of opioid overdoses, on several men and women in Seymour last night.
Twelve overdoses were also reported in Jennings County.
It was initially reported that multiple people had died, but only 1 death was confirmed in Jennings County. There were no overdose-related deaths in Seymour.
Seymour Police Department, along with the Jennings County Sheriff’s Department, and the Indiana State Police are working to find the source of the items consumed.
Seymour Police Chief Bill Abbott says police believe the people using the heroin due to the drug being laced with powdered carfentanyl, which is a horse tranquilizer.
Abbott says there were 16 overdoses in less than 12 hours. Officers had to use at least two doses of Narcan to get people to respond. In one case, they had to administer four doses.
He says they believe the drugs came out of Cincinnati, which is having similar issues.
Seymour Police say they are working with the Jennings County Sheriff’s Department, and Indiana State Police to find the source of the deadly drugs.
Jennings County deputies also responded to a wave of overdoses that killed one person and left 14 others hospitalized.
Jennings County Sheriff Gary Driver says overdoses sent deputies racing from home to home across the county to administer an anti-overdose drug to victims.
Toxicology tests will be performed on a Jennings County woman who died to determine what substance she consumed.
Nashville Man Arrested For Shooting Two Women
Authorities arrested a Nashville man Tuesday after he shot his estranged girlfriend and another woman, according to the Brown County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies were called to the 1700 block of Lucas Hollow Road around 4:13 p.m. Tuesday after receiving a call from one of the victims, saying she had just been shot and the shooter was walking down the road.
The two women were treated for their gunshot wounds at the scene by EMS and then transported to area hospitals.
Both were listed in stable condition Tuesday night.
When deputies arrived, they located the alleged shooter, Joshua Asher, 30, and arrested him without incident.
He was then transported to the Brown County Jail and charged with attempted murder, criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon, battery with serious bodily injury, domestic battery and invasion of privacy.
Deputies say Asher was served with a protective order on behalf of his estranged girlfriend Monday.
Salem, Washington County to get $1.9 Million for Road Projects
The Indiana Department of Transportation announced today that 99 Southern Indiana cities, towns and counties will receive a combined $49 million to improve local roads and bridges through the State’s Community Crossings matching grant fund.
The City of Salem will receive $95,300 and Washington County will receive $1 million. (A full list of recipients is listed below)
Will Wingfield from the INDOT Office of Communications will be in Salem Thursday afternoon to present the checks.
INDOT Commissioner Brandye Hendrickson made the announcement at separate check presentations to Commissioners in Clark County and Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke.
“Both large and small communities in Southern Indiana demonstrated strong commitments to modernizing their roads and bridges and identified matching funds,” said INDOT Commissioner Brandye Hendrickson. “INDOT is pleased to award all of these funding requests within the program’s limit of $1 million per community.”
Clark County is receiving $1 million in matching funds to support bridge improvement projects countywide. The City of Evansville is receiving nearly $708,000 in matching funds to support street improvements to Riverside Drive between Mulberry Street and Boeke Road.
Scottsburg and Scott County are both receiving $1 million each.
“Modernizing infrastructure is a hallmark of a forward-thinking city,” said Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke.
“With Evansville already on track to resurface more than 60 miles of streets in the next three years, the infusion of funds from the State’s Community Crossings program will further broaden the impact of our investment in the City’s streets, sidewalks, and trails. I am especially pleased that the marching grant will be used to upgrade and improve an important travel route that extends from the downtown historic corridor, through residential and commercial neighborhoods and areas adjacent to schools, benefiting residents of all income levels.”
Statement from Clark County Commissioners:
“Providing quality infrastructure is one of most effective ways a community can support economic development and job growth. Across Clark County, we’re making smart investments in roads and bridges and the funding provided by the State through Community Crossings will allow us to complete more work that needs done.”
The local road and bridge matching grant fund was created by the Indiana General Assembly and signed into law by Governor Mike Pence in March 2016. The grant program provides approximately $160 million in funding this year available to all Indiana cities, towns and counties on a 50/50 matching basis.
Projects that are eligible for funding through Community Crossings include road resurfacing, bridge rehabilitation, road reconstruction, resurfacing, and Americans with Disabilities Act compliance in connection with road projects. Material costs for chip sealing and crack filling operations are also eligible for funds.
A complete list of Southern Indiana communities receiving funds through Community Crossings for the calendar year 2016 call for projects is online at http://www.in.gov/indot/
Tomorrow, INDOT officials will make stops in New Haven and LaPorte to feature projects receiving funding in those communities and announce all Northern Indiana communities that will receive matching funds.

Lifeline Law Provides Immunity for High School and College Students
Local law enforcement would like to remind high school and college students about – Indiana’s Lifeline Law.
The Lifeline law provides immunity for the crimes of public intoxication, minor possession, minor consumption and minor transport to persons who reveal themselves to law enforcement while seeking medical assistance for a person suffering from an alcohol-related health emergency.
This year, legislators extended the law to other medical emergencies, such as when someone falls or has a concussion.
It would also protect victims of a sexual assault or those who witness and report a crime from being charged with underage drinking.
In order to receive immunity, the person must demonstrate that they are acting in good faith by completing ALL of the following:
- Providing their full name and any other relevant information requested by law enforcement officer
- Remaining on the scene until law enforcement and emergency medical assistance arrives
- Cooperate with authorities on the scene
The law will not interfere with law enforcement procedures or limit the ability to prosecute for other criminal offenses such as providing to a minor, operating while intoxicated or possession of a controlled substance.

Hamble Pleas Not Guilty; Pre-Trial Set For Sept. 27
Joe Hamble, 29, Salem, appeared before Washington County Circuit Court Judge Larry Medlock this morning a little after 11a for his initial arraignment before the court and entered a not-guilty plea in the shooting deaths of Valerie E. Dicus and Joseph R. Hobson.
When asked if he intended to hire an attorney, Hemble first responded that he intended to hire an attorney.
After Judge Medlock repeated the question, Hemble admitted he could not afford an attorney.
Hemble told the judge he had not been employed for two years because of a workman’s comp related injury.
Judge Medlock assigned him a public defender – in this case – Mark Clark and set the pre-trial conference for Sept. 27 at 9a.
Judge Medlock read the charges against Hemble – two counts of Murder, both felonies.
Hamble said he would plead not-guilty to both charges.
These charges carry a prison sentence term between 45 and 65 years each, said Medlock.
Hamble was arrested on Saturday evening after he admitted to police that he had shot Hobson and the same gun accidentally discharged and shot Dicus.
The .32 calibur handgun used in the shooting was found at Hamble’s apartment in Aspen Meadows.
A family member called 911 after finding the bodies after midnight Saturday morning. Salem Police officers were first at the scene at the 304 West Small Street home.
According to ISP Sgt. Jerry Goodin, autopsies were completed Saturday on the victims at the Kentucky Medical Examiner’s Office in Louisville, KY.
The preliminary cause of death was gunshots wounds from a .32 caliber handgun.
Dicus died of a single gunshot wound to the head and Hobson died of multiple gunshot wounds, to the arm and torso.
The trial was also tentatively set for January 3, 2017 at 8:30a.
