Marty Hall, 63, of 2012 N. Cherry St, Winslow, was ar- rested early Thursday. Pike County Sheriff's Sgt. Dallas Killian said he responded to the report of an accident at Cherry and Union Sts. in Winslow. Killian said he located the van and its driver. He told Sgt. Killian a pickup had backed into his van. Killian then went over to the pickup and talked with Hall, the driver. Sgt. Killian said when he asked Hall how it happened, Hall told him he was drunk and had drank 12 beers. Hall was taken to the Daviess County Hospital, where he tested 0.35 per- cent for blood alcohol con- tent, more than four times the legal limit for driving in Indiana. He was arrested on a charge of operating a vehi- cle while intoxicated, with a prior conviction in the last five years. Hall charged with OVWI in Winslow By James Capozella Petersburg Officer Chad McClellan, assisted by Indi- ana State Trooper Chase Ea- ton and Pike County Sheriff Deputy Jason McKinney, in- vestigated a domestic distur- bance at 413 S. 5th Street in Petersburg on August 9 that resulted in charges of intim- idation, criminal mischief, public intoxication and dis- orderly conduct against Kel- ly L. Robinson, of the same address. Victoria Louise Tolley called 911 after Robinson re- portedly chased her around the block in her truck, slam- ming into her vehicle and then following her home, yelling and threatening to murder her and beat her. McClellan reported that when he arrived, he ob- served a man sitting in the driveway, leaning into the open door of a GMC Jimmy. A woman was sitting in the vehicle on the phone with dispatch. The man stood up and said "you can talk to her." McClellan said he noticed he was slurring his words and his eyes were wa- tery and bloodshot, accord- ing to the report. McClellan noticed the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath and asked him to step into the yard so he could speak with the female. According to the report, the female iden- tified herself as Victoria Tol- ley and that Kelly Robinson had been living with her for about a month. Tolley told officers Rob- inson had gone through her phone and thought she was cheating on him. She also said he started calling her names and screaming at her, at which time she told him to leave, but would not, according to the report. Mc- Clellan then spoke with Rob- inson, who said if McClellan needed to take him to jail, that was fine. Robinson said if he could go, he would start walking to Perry County. He denied having anything to drink. Trooper Eaton and Dep- uty McKinney arrived at this time and Eaton escort- ed Robinson into the house so he could get a few things. McKinney was told by Tol- ley's juvenile daughter that Robinson had chased her mom in the truck around the block and broke the back window, according to the re- port. Robinson began scream- ing at Tolley and became belligerent with Trooper Eaton after being instruct- ed against such action. Ea- ton administered a breath- alyser on Robinson, which was repeatedly failed due to failure to follow instruc- tions. McClellan then ad- ministered a breathalyser on Robinson, which was suc- cessful, registering a .116 BAC. Since Robinson con- tinued to yell at the officers, McClellan placed him under arrest for public intoxication and disorderly conduct. Offi- cers viewed a video made by Tolley, which showed Rob- inson threatening to mur- der her and beat her, as well as him admitting to break- ing the truck window. Mc- Clellan then added charges of intimidation and criminal mischief. Robinson arrested on four charges after domestic disturbance By James Capozella A Wednesday morning 911 call on August 8 re- sulted in the domestic bat- tery arrest of Kyle M. Arm- strong and his father, Greg- ory Armstrong. Pike County Sheriff Deputy Paul Collier responded to a central dis- patch call at 3014 N. CR 850 W. in Hazelton. The caller said a father was choking his son outside the residence. Collier arrived at the fa- ther's residence about nine minutes after the call and saw that Kyle Armstrong was shaking and sweating profusely, with cuts and dried blood on his arm. At that point, Kyle said that he was a "cutter" and that the cuts were self-inflicted. The son stated he had gone to his father's home to get his medication and that his dad wouldn't let him inside. Deputy Collier searched Kyle for officer safety. Dur- ing the interview, Kyle stated he had tried to en- ter through a side door, but his father grabbed him and threw him away from the door into a large metal framed swing, according to the report. Kyle also claimed he hit Gregory with his right fist, then Gregory pushed him down under the swing and pushed a metal bar into his head. Kyle said Gregory then put a swing cushion into his mouth so he would stop screaming, according to the report. Kyle said he could not breathe at that time but refused medical treatment. Witnesses stated that Gregory was on top of Kyle with his hands around Kyle's neck. During a search of Greg- ory, officer Collier located a pocket knife. He also saw blood coming from Grego- ry's ear and arm, according to the report. Kyle Armstrong was ar- rested for domestic battery, and Gregory Armstrong for strangulation and domestic battery, according to the re- port. Collier was assisted by Petersburg Police Corporal Scott Wright. Father-and-son dispute escalates, leads to arrests were going to get to, and they were excited about it," Padgett said. "For a little while, we were in the 90s. But we had some not return. We had some family choices and family splits, and differ- ent things that happen every year at every school." "I credit Rick and the staff, and our parents and the community for talk- ing us up and spreading the word for that number going up," Padgett added. "It makes everything less tense. Obviously, more kids means more money." The first several days of school, according to Padgett, have been "really smooth." "I'm knocking on wood ev- ery time I say that, but we had a great week," Padgett said. "The teachers were awesome. The kids were ex- cited. The parents were real- ly supportive. So I think ev- eryone's excited about the changes we've made to the building so far. It's really been very smooth so far." One of the changes, Padgett noted, was the con- version of one of the build- ing's classrooms into a cafe- teria, where students can eat their lunches. "They're not eating lunch in their classrooms, and the kids seem to enjoy that so- cial time a lot more," Padgett said. "Everyone still needs to bring a lunch. We hope to have some word on the lunch program by the end of this month, from the state, to be able to roll that out as well." In addition, Padgett noted that new playground equip- ment was expected to arrive at the school soon. Padgett said that parents who have questions about the school's two bus routes can call the office at 812- 354-0800. "They've changed a lit- tle bit from last year be- cause of the demographics of enrollment," Padgett said. "We had to adjust those two routes a little bit. That's the biggest thing." Padgett noted that one of the routes – which starts in Petersburg and follows Hwy. 356 through Alford and Al- giers to Otwell – is being handled by a driver who lives in Stendal. "She does travel through the Arthur Junction through Winslow and across that way, to get in to start her route at (Old Petersburg Gym)," Padgett said. "We're hopeful that we'll be able to make it a little more conve- nient for some of our par- ents by maybe adding a stop or two along that path, if there's a need for it." "We're still not door-to- door," Padgett added. "We're more of what people would call snow routes or pick-up routes. That seems to be working well." Padgett also said that an open house will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 28 to cele- brate the one-year anniver- sary of the first day classes were held in its new build- ing. "We're still in the plan- ning stages, but we're go- ing to have a one-year birth- day party for the school," Padgett said. "We'll do some things with the kids during the day, and then open up the afternoon for parents and the public to come in." Padgett, meanwhile, is hoping that the rest of the school year goes as well as it has begun at Otwell Mill- er Academy. "We haven't had any bus issues," Padgett said. "We haven't had any start-of- the-day or end-of-the-day things. So it's all been real- ly good." 464 students.
