New Keepsake Ornaments Arriving Daily Traffic stops lead to multiple arrests in separate incidents By Andy Heuring A Petersburg man was arrested after police got a report of a Cadillac mak- ing several trips around the CVS building and driving erratically in their parking lot including running over a curb and nearly sideswiping a parked car Saturday eve- ning. Anthony Maxfield, 47, of 1313 E. Spruce St., Peters- burg, was arrested by police Cpl. Jared Simmons, who said he saw Maxfield walk out of the CVS and get into a Cadillac and drive away. Cpl. Simmons said Maxfield was making erratic movements with his arms and vehicle was jerking back and forth in its lane before he stopped him on Main St. Maxfield failed field so- briety tests and refused a blood test. A Jasper man was arrest- ed after police received a 911 call about a white van go- ing all over the road north bound on I-69 early Satur- day morning. Torivio Ortega, 33, of 1533 Dewey St., Jasper was arrested on a preliminary charge of operating a vehi- cle while intoxicated Pike County Deputy Ja- son McKinney said when he received the report at about 5:30 a.m. he went to the I- 69 interchange and saw a white van turn south on Highway 61. As he followed the van Deputy McKinney said he saw it go left of cen- ter three times and off the right side of the road twice before stopping it near the Charger Mine. It was being driven by Ortega. Deputy McKinney said Ortega admitted drinking earlier in the day, but said he had slept since then and thought he was okay. He failed field sobriety tests and was taken to the Pike County Jail, where he tested 0.11 percent for blood alcohol content. The legal limit is 0.08 percent in In- diana. A Princeton man and his passenger were arrested early Sunday morning af- ter police stopped them be- cause the car they were in didn't have a front bumper nor a license plate light. Petersburg Police Cpl. Jared Simmons said at 1:17 a.m. he saw a red Chevrolet S10 pickup driving south on Highway 57 in Petersburg. It turned onto 18th St., Cpl. Simmons said he stopped the truck at the intersection of 18th and Sycamore Sts. It was being driven by Justin Bradshaw, 44, of 217 S. Race St., Princeton. Cpl. Simmons said Brad- shaw had blood shot glassy eyes and his speech was slurred with poor dexter- ity. Simmons said he no- ticed the same thing about Bradshaw's passenger, who seemed extremely nervous due to shaking and sweating a large amount. The passen- ger was identified as Jeffrey L. Whitlow, 45, of 325 E. Wa- ter St., Princeton. According to Cpl. Sim- mons' report Bradshaw failed field sobriety tests and denied he had used metham- phetamine. Cpl. Simmons had the pas- senger, Whitlow, get out of the vehicle. He was walking with a cane. He searched a tool bag and found nothing, but while Whitlow was walk- ing back to the car Simmons said he noticed a rattling sound coming from his cane. According to Cpl. Sim- mons report, when he searched a compartment in Whitlow's cane he found a hypodermic needle and crystal like substance in- side a corner baggie. Whitlow initially said he didn't know anything about the items. Simmons report also stat- ed when he asked Bradshaw about the meth he found, Bradshaw denied knowing anything about it, but later admitted doing meth. Bradshaw was taken to the Daviess Community Hospi- tal where he tested positive for methamphetamine and amphetamine. He was pre- liminarily charged with op- erating a vehicle while in- toxicated (controlled sub- stance). Whitlow was taken to the Pike County Jail and prelim- inarily charged with posses- sion of meth and unlawful possession of a syringe.
