Upon arriving in the area, officers located the source of the disturbance at a res- idence in the 2700 block of North Ind. 65. Once all the parties were separated, Dep- uty Zach Lienemann began an investigation into the na- ture of the disturbance. Witnesses on scene told Deputy Lienemann that 40 -year-old Jonathan Fred- erick, of Petersburg, came to the residence and was asked to leave, then a physi- cal altercation ensued, with Frederick being removed from the inside of the resi- dence. Frederick was treated for minor injuries by Emergen- cy Service Personnel from the Princeton Fire Territo- ry and Gibson County Am- bulance Service. At the conclusion of his in- vestigation, Deputy Liene- mann went to Gibson Gen- eral Hospital and transport- ed Frederick to the Gibson County Jail. He has since posted a $750 bond. Assisting Deputy Liene- mann in his investigation was Princeton Officer Ben Kiesel, and Captain Bryan Ellis and Sergeant Bruce Vanoven, of the Gibson County Sheriff's Office. Frederick charged with residential entry, battery By Andy Heuring A rural Winslow man was arrested after his wife told police he shook gasoline on her and disabled their vehi- cle to keep her from leaving in it. Aaron Bellamy, 48, of 1953 E. Logtown Road, Win- slow, was arrested at about 7 p.m. Monday, September 23. Pike County Sheriff's Deputy Paul Collier said he was dispatched to the Bel- lamy residence and when he drove up, he found Bel- lamy on the roof of the resi- dence. When he asked Bel- lamy to come down and talk to him, Bellamy asked if he could finish what he was do- ing first. He was told no. According to Deputy Collier's report, Bellamy climbed down and talked to him, but said he didn't know why the police were there. Collier said when he asked Bellamy why his wife, Angel, would have called police, Bellamy responded, "Because she is a *&# % ." When police talked with Angel, she told them Aaron had done something to the car so she couldn't leave. She said while she was in the car, he poured gasoline on her and then "flicked" a lighter in his hand. Deputy Collier said he could see dark spots on the vehicle driver's seat and on Angel's shirt and they smelled like gasoline. Aaron initially denied pouring gas on her, saying he accidentally spilled it on her. But later said he shook some on her, but that he didn't have a lighter. Aaron was taken into cus- tody on preliminary charg- es of domestic battery with a deadly weapon and intim- idation with a deadly weap- on. Both are level 5 felonies.

On Thursday, October 3, IPL Petersburg will be part- nering with local emergen- cy responders to conduct a full-scale drill at the plant. Mark Flint said, "If you see emergency vehicles re- sponding to the plant, or if you see social media posts about an incident, this is on- ly a drill. Avoid the plant en- trance, and do not call emer- gency services for informa- tion." While evacuation drills have been conducted in the past, this complex exercise will allow personnel to prac- tice additional skills, includ- ing how to coordinate when several responders arrive on site. From about 10 to 11:30 a.m., the plant's Fire Bri- gade and Industrial Medi- cal Team will be in action, in addition to Pike County EMS, Petersburg Fire De- partment and the Pike Coun- ty Sheriff's Office. In addi- tion, there will be a simu- lated emergency scene and "victims" with visible inju- ries. Flint said, "The exer- cise will be carefully moni- tored by the Exercise Con- trol team, who will be wear- ing vests identifying their roles." IPL will be doing an emergency drill on October 3 By Andy Heuring A Hospice nurse was ar- rested last Wednesday after her patient's family called police to report the nurse appeared intoxicated. Patricia S. Coffey, 53, of Vincennes, was arrested at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 25 on charges of operating a vehicle while in- toxicated and public intoxi- cation. Indiana State Troop- er John Davis said he re- sponded to the call. When he arrived, he talked with Jeffrey Davis and Penelo- pe Fuhrman. According to a probable cause affidavit, Fuhrman told him the nurse was slurring her words and stumbling around, and had fallen into furniture and was on the floor multiple times, crawling around giving medication directions. Trooper Davis said in the affidavit when he asked Cof- fey what was going on, she said, "the patient was fine and was doing okay." He said her speech was slurred and she had red glassy eyes. Trooper Davis said Coffey told him she had driven to the residence, but she de- nied drinking. She failed field sobriety tests. She was taken to the Da- viess Community Hospital, where she tested 0.159 per- cent for blood alcohol con- tent, which is almost twice the legal limit in Indiana of 0.08 percent. Hospice nurse arrested for OVWI and public intoxication Paving in Petersburg underway A milling crew and a paving crew are out in force this week in Petersburg.
