The Press-Dispatch Local Wednesday, September 19, 2018 A- 9 ILLUMINATE WINSLOW The Golden Living Center had a trailer float lit up for the Winslow Light-Up Parade. Two-year-old Riker Norrington enjoyed the Win- slow Community Festival Light-Up Parade and the candy that was thrown for kids, but was mostly in- fluenced by music, which he danced and swayed to during the entire parade. Riker's parents, Tammy and Josh Norrington, know that the two year old makes up his own music and dances to it whether they can hear it or not. James Capozella photos Road Warriors for Jesus have been a part of the Winslow parade for some time. Chris Hornby was Grand Marshal of the Win- slow Parade. Golf carts made up part of the Winslow parade, this one for Judy Gumbel. The Kayak Mafia entry in the Winslow Parade was an eye catcher, with youth and even an infant taking in the sights, lights and sounds.

Two arrested in separate unusual incidents By Andy Heuring Two people were arrested last week in separate unusu- al incidents on consecutive days in Petersburg. On Thursday, Petersburg police were called to the Dol- lar General Store when the store manager reported a woman was in the back of the store "huffing." Sarah Percell, 28, with no address was arrested by Petersburg Cpl. Jared Sim- mons on preliminary charg- es of theft and public intox- ication. Cpl. Simmons said when he arrived at the store, the manager told him a woman was still in the store. When he located Percell in the back of the store, she had a "blue tint of something all the way around her mouth and on her lips." He said her balance was unsteady and her speech was slurred. He also noticed on the floor next to the shoe display was an old dirty pair of tennis shoes and she was wearing a brand new pair of shoes matching those on display in the store. Cpl. Simmons said when he asked her about the shoes, she said she bought them yesterday, but even- tually admitted she hadn't bought them. He said he then noticed she was wear- ing a bracelet on her arm that still had the store tags attached. According to Sim- mons' report, when he asked her about the report of some- one huffing in the store, she said she saw someone huff- ing. Simmons said there was a bottle of aerosol cologne on the shelf in front of her and her shirt was soaked in the cologne. His report said she didn't like the aerosol cologne be- cause it didn't get her high. She preferred another type of aerosol because it did a better job of getting her high. Simmons said 'huffers' typically spray the aerosol into a piece of cloth and then breathe it in. During a search of her purse, he located two lip- sticks, a pig key chain and a green bracelet. Simmons said the clerk told him all the items totaled $14.61. He said Purcell had 68 cents in her possession. In a separate incident, police and EMTs respond- ed to a call to 4-Star Fabri- cators on Saturday morning of an employee not respond- ing. Petersburg Cpl. Scott Wright said when he arrived, he talked with Dan Miller, a supervisor at 4-Star. Miller told Cpl. Wright several em- ployees were working Sat- urday morning and noticed Edward Diskey hadn't been seen for more than an hour and 20 minutes. Miller said after searching the proper- ty, they found Diskey in a locked bathroom stall. Mill- er said Diskey would only re- ply "yeah" when the asked him if he was okay. Cpl. Wright said he and EMTs arrived at about the same time and were taken to the bathroom. A fter sev- eral attempts to check on Diskey he did not respond. They were able to see he was slumped over in the stall. Eventually Wright said he got up on a cot and reached over the stall door and was able to unlock it. He said EMTs tried several ways to awaken Diskey before he fi- nally responded. Wright said when Diskey regained consciousness his pupils were constricted and he became combative with EMTs and started yelling profanities at them. Eventu- ally he sat on the stretcher long enough to sign a refus- al for medical attention. Cpl. Wright said Diskey failed field sobriety tests and was charged with pub- lic intoxication and taken in- to custody.
