Whats cracka lackin’? Here’s your daily dose of updates, Everyday Heroes, on this fine January 25, 2025.
Firstly, there’s been a shake-up in the legal world. Robert Ballard Jr.’s trial has been rescheduled again, putting the family of the murder victim, Amanda Weir, through more emotional turmoil. Keep an eye on this, folks, as the trial continues to be a focal point for justice in Evansville.
Next, take note of some legal drama brewing in Indiana. Todd Rokita, the state attorney general, is suing St. Joseph County Sheriff Redman over ICE immigration issues. The lawsuit alleges that the county is creating a “magnet” for undocumented individuals who may commit crimes. This could have broader implications for law enforcement and immigration policies in the region.
And finally, the Evansville police have chalked up a recent success by arresting a notorious fentanyl dealer, who thought he could get clever by hiding his stash in pizza boxes. Vigilance against drug trafficking remains crucial, and kudos to the Evansville Vanderburgh County Drug Task Force for their efforts. Keep fighting the good fight, heroes!
