Pike County Central Dis- patch had four accidents re- ported from about 7:05 to 8:10 a.m. The most serious was a minor injury accident in Campbelltown. Sydney Keith, 17, of Win- slow, was driving north to school at about 8 a.m. Indi- ana State Trooper John Da- vis said Keith hit a patch of ice in a turn, causing her rear tires to slide. He said she spun out, went off the left side of the road and hit a small tree with the back of her 2008 Mitsubishi. She complained of back pain and her brother, Sean, com- plained of wrist pain from the air bag exploding. He said both refused treatment by Pike County EMS. Davis said the ice formed where water was seeping across the highway. About 50 minutes earlier, another accident happened about 75 yards south of this one. Jennifer Drew, of Win- slow, was driving north and hit the same patch of ice and slid off the road, hitting a small tree, according to Pike County Deputy Brad Jenkins. In Petersburg, Hannah Hill was driving west on Highway 356 in front of Pe- tersburg Elementary School when a bus slowed to turn into the school. Peters- burg Police Chief Chuck Baumgart said when she hit her brakes, the road was a sheet of ice. Hill slide off the right side of the road and up an embankment. While police were work- ing that accident, another vehicle hit the ice and ran off the road into a yard. She was able to get back on the road without damage. "It was so slick, I could hardly walk on the street," said Baumgart. He said he started his shift at about 5:30 a.m. and the roads were not slick. Then at about 6:45 to 7 a.m., they started freezing. "I think there was a little ice in Campbelltown reported, then all of a sudden it was ev- erywhere," said Baumgart. He said they notified the state of the icy conditions on 356 and they arrived in about 10 minutes with salt and it took care of the prob- lem fairly quick. Icy roads cause multiple accidents Thursday By Andy Heuring Two people were arrest- ed in Pike County last week. An Eckerty woman was arrested after she suffered an asthma attack, pulled a quad axle truck into a pri- vate driveway and request- ed help from a homeowner. Lisa E. Tipton, 43, of Eck- erty, was arrested by Pike County Deputy Sheriff Mike Willis. Willis, in his report, stat- ed he was dispatched to Highway 61, near the Pike- Warrick line, due to a mid- dle-age woman on a porch requesting help and gasp- ing for air. Willis said he and Troop- er C.J. Boeckman arrived, found the truck in the drive- way and saw Tipton on the ground with the homeown- er trying to help her. EMS arrived and after having oxygen for several minutes was able to talk to police. Deputy Willis said he no- ticed the odor of alcohol while talking with Tipton, who denied drinking. However, she failed field sobriety tests and was tak- en to Memorial Hospital in Jasper, where she tested 0.19 percent for blood alco- hol. The legal limit in Indi- ana for blood alcohol content is 0.08 percent. She was taken into custo- dy on a charge of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, with a prior conviction in the last five years, and operating a commercial motor vehicle with a disqualified license. An Evansville woman was arrested late Saturday when police saw her driving 44 mph on I-69 and crossing the fog line three times. Her vehicle also had an improp- er taillight. Karenssa Roysdon, 40, was arrested by Indiana State Trooper Chase Eaton near the 52-mile marker. Trooper Eaton noticed she was intoxicated and transported her to the Da- viess Community Hospital, where she tested 0.98 per- cent for blood alcohol con- tent. She was then taken to the Pike County Jail, where she was preliminarily charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated. Two arrested for OVWI in separate incidents competition," stated Randy Meece. The press release from TechPoint Foundation for Youth read, "The Indiana VEX Robotics State Cham- pionship is the largest state robotics competition in the nation, with 360 teams com- peting from around the Hoo- sier state." George Giltner, state di- rector of robotics for Tech- Point Foundation for Youth said, "Indiana has the most VEX IQ elementary and mid- dle school robotics teams in the United States, so ad- vancing to the state cham- pionship is a commendable achievement." Coach Nalley said that the boys on the Pink Power team are very talented driv- ers. "I asked them before their first competition what their goal was and they all said, 'To win and make it to state! '" According to Nalley, the boys qualified for the state competition very early in the year, so they have been lim- ited to how many competi- tions they could compete in beforehand. "I think it's awesome that they qualified so quickly - their first event of the sea- son," added Nalley with ex- citement. To make it to state, the Pink Power team won the "Teamwork Champion Award ( VIQC)" at the com- petition in November, said Nalley. She added that they worked with alliance part- ner The Bots of Rockport, Ind. to score 21 points in the finals. She also add- ed that there were 25 oth- er teams up against them in that tournament, both ele- mentary and middle school. As the season has gone on, Nalley said that they have continued to have suc- cess, as they placed second at the Mid-America Science Park at Scottsburg, on Feb- ruary 2, 2019, and most re- cently at Linton Stockton on February 9, where they scored 27 points with alli- ance partner Robosharks, from the Math & Science Academy out of Indianapo- lis, to take second. As this is Nalley's first year to coach robotics, she said, "I believe it has been a great learning experience for all of us, myself includ- ed. I am so proud of the Pike Power Team for what they have accomplished. I am al- so proud of the other team members for sticking with it throughout this season." She also added that all teams have improved sig- nificantly and she believes that they will all do even bet- ter next year. PES GIRL SQUAD QUALIFIES FOR STATE FINALS PES team sponsor Terra Knust said, "I received word this morning our team Girl Squad has earned a place at state. . . they earned a state bid due to having a high ranking in the Robot Skills Challenge on the Worlds Skills rankings list. Girl Squad team members are Macy Hill, Karly Gide- on, Kady Gideon, Elle Rea- dle and Booklyn Query. Two Petersburg teams won the Newburgh Rum- ble competition on Satur- day as Fierce Unicorns and Team Trump in the Alliance event. "Winning the New- burgh event was a major ac- complishment. This the first time in three years of doing robotics that two Petersburg teams have won the compe- tition as an alliance," said Knust. The Newburgh event was a state qualifier event, but both Team Trump and the Fierce Unicorns had already qualified for the state finals. Team Trump, The Fierce Unicorns and Team Smart- ies, all from Petersburg Ele- mentary School, will join the Girl Squad and Pink Power at the state finals. Team Trump members are Lane Frederick, Carter McCain and Aksel Onyett. Fierce Unicorns team members are Kaedon Jan- sen, Tyler Collins, Jacoby Smith and Llinkyn Knust. Team Smarties consist of Zayne Bell, Jacob Harker and Joshua Harker. to them before leaving. CVS was able to identify Warner and after talking to employees and witness- es there, Cpl. Mills went to Warner's residence on Main St. He saw the truck and ran the license plate, which returned to Warner. He said a woman came out of the residence and waited on the front porch. Cpl. Mills started walking towards the house, then Warner came out of the house and said "What are you going to MFer." Mills said he stopped in the grassy area and asked Warner to calm down. In- stead, Mills asked "What are you going to do little cop? " and then called him an obscenity. Mills called for back-up, but the nearest unit was near Arthur. Mills said he told War- ner he was there to inves- tigate a complaint at CVS. He said he could smell the odor of alcohol while talk- ing to Warner. He said Warner continued to yell and scream at him and eventually said, "I'm go- ing to kick your - - -." Mill said he informed Warner it was against the law to threaten a police of- ficer. Warner then started staggering towards his front door and Mills fol- lowed him. Mills said he was afraid if Warner went inside, he might have ac- cess to weapons. Warner refused to stop and Mills grabbed him by the arm. Warner weighs nearly 100 pounds more than Cpl. Mills. He said Warner spun around and shoved him backwards, and kept push- ing him and took a swing at Mills, but missed. Dur- ing the scramble, Mills said Warner shoved him into a pole where he hit his head. Eventually, Mills was able to get Warner on- to the ground and got one handcuff on him. He held him there for several min- utes trying to the get the other handcuff on him. Mills said after about four or five minutes of fighting him on the ground, he fi- nally got the second hand- cuff on him. Mills said his head, hands, arm and shoulder was injured during the fight. EMS was called and cleared Warner. He was then tested for blood alco- hol content and failed field sobriety tests. Warner's wife told police Warner had been drinking and left home, but he had not been drinking since he returned home. Warner was taken to the Pike County Jail and placed in a holding cell. While in the holding cell, Cpl. Mills said Warner fell down and jailer Shawn Gilley went in the cell to check on him. Warner began cussing him and kicked Gilley in the hand. Sullivan suffers minor injury A rural Petersburg woman suffered hand injuries in an early Monday morning crash on CR 300 N. just south of Petersburg, between Highway 61 and 57. Nancy Sullivan was driving her Dodge pickup truck east on CR 300 N. when she ran off the road and struck a utility pole, snapping the pole near its base, according to Pike County Deputy Sheriff Brad Jenkins. He said her hands were bleeding from the 7:55 a.m. accident. The Pink Power team members are Eli Arnold, Blaine Barnett, Parker Knust, Noah Meece and Jacob Pauw.
