Ed Cahill photo By Andy Heuring Three people were arrest- ed for drunken driving last week in Pike County. A Petersburg man was ar- rested after police stopped him for running off the road and crossing the centerline. Bryce Onyett, 40, of 401 N. Eighth St., Petersburg, was arrested by Indiana State Trooper C. J. Boeck- man on a charge of operat- ing a vehicle while intoxicat- ed (refusal). Trooper Boeckman said, at about 11 p.m. Friday, he was driving on Highway 356, near Coomer Lane, when he noticed a white truck that couldn't maintain its lane. While watching, Troop- er Beockman said the truck crossed the center line three times and ran off the right side of the highway twice. He pulled it over on Hick- ory Lane and found Onyett to be the driver. Boeckman said he when he asked Onyett for his li- cense and registration, On- yett "just looked at me and was silent." Boeckman said he noticed the odor of alco- hol. Onyett failed field sobri- ety tests and tested 0.175 on a portable breath test, which is double the legal limit in In- diana. He was taken to the Pike County Jail, where, after three attempts to give a breath sampling, the ma- chine indicated he had giv- en an insufficient sample each time. Trooper Boeck- man said the machine then locked up and was inop- erable. So he told Onyett he could go to the Daviess Community Hospital and have a blood test taken, and Onyett would have to pay for the test. Trooper Boeck- man's report states Onyett agreed to this, but when they got the hospital and the nurse told Onyett it would cost a "couple hundred" for the test, he refused. Boeckman said he in- formed Onyett if he didn't take the test, he would have to charge him with refusal. According to a probable cause affidavit, Onyett then began to argue with Boeck- man about the test, saying it wasn't his fault the machine at Pike County failed. "I told him that he gave three in- sufficient samples and that I was being generous to give him the option to go to the hospital so he didn't have to refuse." Trooper Boeckman said Onyett was constant- ly telling him how close of friends he was with numer- ous police officers and even the Pike County Judge. "At one point, (he) told me that (Sheriff ) Kent Johnson was his brother and then contin- ued to state a brother from another mother." When they arrived at the Pike County Jail, Onyett was preliminarily charged with operating a vehicle while in- toxicated (refusal). A Holland man was ar- rested after a traffic stop in Petersburg at about 11 p.m. Friday night. Landon Polin Hubster, 40, of 1002 W. Ohio St., Holland, was arrested on a charge of operating a vehicle while intoxicated (refusal), by Petersburg Cpl. Jared Sim- mons. Cpl. Simmons said he was driving south on High- way 57 behind a silver Ponti- ac passenger car that made an abrupt turn onto Lakev- iew Dr., turning on its turn signal at the last moment before turning. He said it went to Highway 356 and then turned toward Peters- burg. As he followed it, Cpl. Simmons said the vehicle swerved back and forth in its lane before he stopped it near the elementary school. When he spoke with the driver, Cpl. Simmons said he noticed beads of sweat on the driver's face and fore- head, despite the tempera- ture being about 25 degrees. He said he also noticed Hub- ster's speech was muttered and rapid with irregular jaw movements, which he said are symptoms of meth in- toxication. Simmons said he also smelled the odor of alcohol. According to Simmons' report, Hubster said his pas- senger, Regina Hill, of Vin- cennes, had been drinking, but he had not. Hubster failed field sobri- ety tests, including testing 0.12 percent for blood alco- hol on a portable breath test. He was taken to the Da- viess Community Hospital, where he said he would not give a blood test because he didn't do needles. Instead he agreed to provide a urine sample. One hour and 25 minutes later, Hubster had not given a urine sample and was transported to the Pike County Jail, where he was arrested on a preliminary charge of OV WI (refusal). An Oakland City woman was arrested on a warrant for OV WI, stemming from an accident on Wednesday, January 16. Pike County Deputy Sher- iff Buck Seger said he was dispatched to an accident on County Road 900 S. and found a tan Chevrolet car had hit a concrete abutment. Deputy Seger said he and Sheriff's Sgt. Dallas Killian talked with Karrisa Ann Taborn, 26, of 415 N. Main St., Oakland City, and could smell the odor of alcohol. Deputy Seger's report states she said she had drank about a pint of vodka and she said she was driv- ing to the liquor store to get more. His report also stated po- lice found one partially emp- ty bottle of vodka and one full in the passenger's side floorboard. Deputy Seger said Taborn tested 0.25 percent for blood alcohol content, The legal limit for blood alcohol con- tent in Indiana is 0.08 per- cent. She was taken by ambu- lance to the hospital. A fter her release, she was arrest- ed on a warrant. Three arrested for OVWI in separate incidents COUNCIL Continued from page 1 the bids during its next reg- ular meeting, on Monday, Feb. 4, at 6:30 p.m. Noting that INDOT has opted to begin requesting applications for the Com- munity Crossing Matching Grant program twice a year, Klipsch suggested that the city submit one in the next call for projects – before the Feb. 1, 2019, deadline – for White River Avenue and sev- eral cross streets connect- ing White River Avenue with Highway 61. Klipsch reminded the council that INDOT will be working on Highway 61 – from Main Street northward to the White River bridge area – starting in 2021, and that White River Avenue would, at times, serve as an alternate route around the construction activity. "If you remember, in Mon- roe City, when that project was going on ... it's going to take a while," said Klipsch, who noted that 7th Street would also likely serve as an alternate route around the construction work. "So a big concern of ours is go- ing to be the detour route, and what it's going to do to our city streets." Klipsch gave as one exam- ple of the need for re-paving White River Avenue main- taining access to the Wal- nut Hill Cemetery. "You would go down 7th Street mostly likely, or once it gets to the railroad tracks, it will take White River Ave- nue all the way up to North Street, and North Street over to the entrance to the cemetery," Klipsch said. Klipsch subsequently re- quested that the council vote to approve a resolution approving an application for the Community Crossing Matching Grant program for White River Avenue as well as Albright, Mona and North streets. "In this case, we're sug- gesting, or recommending, an application of somewhere around $200,000, which our match would be $50,000," Klipsch explained. "But there's no guarantee we will be successful. I think you can flip a coin about now on this one because we were just recently awarded a quar- ter of a million dollars." On a motion by John Mel- hiser, seconded by Gary Leavitt, the council voted unanimously to approve the resolution. "He was not wanting to eat or drink or walk," said Lydia. She said he also didn't want to go outside and play. So they took him to the doctor and then the hospital, where they found the cancer. He went through a se- ries of operations and treat- ments, including having his adrenal gland removed, then five rounds of chemotherapy, as well as radiation. He then had a stem cell transplant and three rounds of immu- notherapy at Riley's in Indi- anapolis, where he spent about a month continuous- ly. She said this was about a year-long process and count- less trips to and from India- napolis. However on his birthday, January 11, 2016, he went through tests and was offi- cially declared in remission. About a year and a half had passed when Lydia no- ticed Aden wasn't wanting to play outside and he just didn't seem to feel well. She had a full body scan done of him in August 2017. It found he had a brain tumor. He underwent surgery to have the tumor removed, but Lydia said it had already spread through is five-year- old body. He started another three rounds of chemotherapy and numerous trips to and from Riley's. While Lydia made the trips with him, his father, Aaron, stayed at home and took care of Aden's sister, So- fia, who is two years young- er than Aden. He also took on a second job. Aaron is a Physical Therapist's Assis- tant at Amber Manor. He took on a job at a second fa- cility as well. He said his parents and Lydia's parents both helped out keeping Sofia as well while they worked. Aden was then accept- ed into a new experimental treatment at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital in New York. It was a new type of immu- notherapy called Humanized 3SH. He received two rounds of it and it was successful. Lyd- ia said after the treatments, he went through more tests and found no signs of the disease. He continued the treatments, which would last about a week and a half, then he'd go about five weeks and return for another treat- ment. A fter he had complet- ed five rounds of the treat- ment, just a little more than two months from being de- clared free of the disease, another set of scans found a brain tumor and a large mass on his right thigh, on his pelvis and backbone, and in his bone marrow. Earlier this week, he was at Riley's undergoing more chemo treatments. He again has been accepted into a new experimental program in Cincinnati called MIBG therapy. "So right now, he is under- going intense chemo, hoping to get it under control, so in a couple of months he can be ready to go to Cincinnati." The roller coaster of news and emotions has taken its toll. "It is definitely hard on him. He thought it was al- most done. . . For a while, once the cancer came back, he couldn't walk on his legs. It was hard on him. He is a very energetic boy. But he understands it is hard. It is something he had already been through," said Aaron. He said between the treat- ments, there have been suc- cesses and setbacks, making planning around them diffi- cult. "He occasionally will have an infection and have to go back to hospital. So you just don't know how to plan." "It is hard," said Aaron. "You just have to put on your happy face and get through the day." STEPHENS Continued from page 1
