Brent L. Stone, 56, of 5074 W. SR 56, Petersburg, was arrested Friday by Pike County Sheriff's Sgt. Buck Seger. Sgt. Seger's report stat- ed Stone's son had been dropped off at his house on Friday without his cell - phone. Stone then contacted his ex-wife and asked about getting the phone. Deputy Seger said Stone's son had been grounded from his phone by his moth- er, Krista. Brent went to Krista's residence to get the phone, which he paid for, and talked with Harley Franklin, Kris- ta's boyfriend. Deputy Seger, in his re- port, said Franklin backed away from Stone and wouldn't give him the phone. Stone then got out of his ve- hicle and tried to get the phone from him, but said Franklin was "playing keep away from him with the phone." Stone claimed Frank- lin was holding the phone over his head and when he lunged for it, Franklin fell backwards. Stone also said he might have accidentally hit Franklin when trying to grab the phone. Harley said when Stone arrived, he told Stone his son had been grounded from his phone for a week. Then Stone got out of the truck and hit him in the head, knocking him down. Franklin said he pulled out a firearm and pointed it at Stone and told him to leave. Stone then left and Franklin called 911. Sgt. Seger said when he talked with Krista, she said Brent arrived, got out of the car and hit Franklin in the head twice, knocking him to the ground. Sgt. Seger said he also talked with Brian Gladish, who was also at the resi - dence at the time. Gladish said he heard Stone say it wasn't Franklin's phone and then he hit Franklin twice, and they fell behind a truck and he couldn't see what was happening. Sgt. Seger took Stone in- to custody on a preliminary charge of battery. Cell phone dispute leads to charge of battery Veterans Day programs set for November 11 Veterans Day programs will again be presented by Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3587 at Petersburg and Winslow Elementary Schools, the Otwell Veter - ans Memorial and Golden Living Center on Monday, November 11. The Petersburg Elemen- tary School program will begin at 9:30 a.m., followed by Winslow Elementary at 10 :30 a.m. The veterans will have a presentation at the Otwell Veterans Memorial at 11:15 a.m., followed by lunch at the Otwell United Meth- odist Church. At 1:15 p.m., the Post will be part of a pro- gram honoring veterans at the Golden Living Center. come in and say you are go- ing to do this, this and this." Klipsch said after meet- ing with the engineers and finance people, the projects will not be completed until 2023. "We have been working on this for five years and now it looks like it will be another four years before it is complete," said Klipsch. City Services Manager Ross Elmore said White Riv- er Ave. was supposed to be paved starting on Tuesday. However, he was notified Monday they were going to delay it by a week. Peters- burg received $190,000 from the Indiana Department of Transportation's Crossroad Community grant program. It pays 75 percent of paving projects. Klipsch said Petersburg has 15 major projects un- derway at this time. Petersburg resident Rob Franklin told the council he had a drainage issue on Nichols Ave., where he owns a building. Mayor Klipsch said he had been looking into it. Klipsch said they are trying to figure out what to do with the water. He said the drain- age tile along Nichols is an old hodge podge over sever- al decades. He said they may end up taking the water out to Pike Ave. Councilman Gary Leavitt asked how long the city was going to keep the parking lot behind City Hall roped off from traffic. "My first thought on that is not until we get some- thing improved there," said Klipsch. They are having trouble with the pavement sinking and it becoming uneven. He said he is thinking about talking to the contrac- tor on the building demoli- tion to see what they recom- mend. He added he is worried about how deep to get in- to the project. The parking lot is where the old Lincoln Theatre used to be located. The next Petersburg City Council meeting will be 6:30 p.m. on Monday, November 4. By Andy Heuring A Petersburg man was ar- rested on an OV WI charge after police stopped him ear- ly Monday morning. Michael Joesph Eman- uele, 30, of 212 S. 15th St., Petersburg, was arrest- ed on charges of operating while intoxicated and pos- session of paraphernalia at about 12:30 a.m. Monday. Pike County Deputy Sher- iff Jared Simmons said he noticed a GMC Envoy driv- ing north on Main St. go left center near 12th St. Deputy Simmons stopped the vehi- cle and talked with Emanu- ele, who was driving. He said Emanuele's speech was slurred and rapid, and his manual dexterity was slow and his pupils didn't respond to light. Emanuele failed field so- briety tests. During a search of Emanuele's vehicle, Pe- tersburg Patrolman Bryce Manning found a glass smoking device. According to a probable cause affidavit, Emanuele said he had smoked meth the prior day because he was upset about his moth - er-in-law dying. He refused a chemical test, saying he would fail it, according to the probable cause. Emanuele was taken into custody and transport- ed to the Pike County Jail. A Jasper man was arrest- ed early Friday after police saw him repeatedly driving left of center on Highway 64, near CR 100 W. John R. Passen, 64, of 976 W. Division Rd., Jasper, was stopped by Pike Coun- ty Sheriff's Sgt. Buck Seger. Sgt. Seger said when he activated his emergency lights to stop Passen, Pas- sen drove completely into the oncoming lane before stopping on his side of the road. When talking with Pas- sen, Sgt. Seger said he no- ticed slurred speech, and bloodshot and glassy eyes. Seger said when he asked Passen if he had drank or taken anything that would have impaired his driving, Passen said he was not go- ing to answer questions. During a free air search by K-9 officer Bleck, he in- dicated for illegal drugs in the car. According to the probable cause affidavit, police found a digital scale with a white powder in it that field tested positive for meth. They also found a bottle with five white pills that were identified as controlled substances. Passen refused field sobri- ety tests and a chemical test. He was taken to the Pike County Jail, where he was charged with possession of meth, less than five grams, a level 6 felony; possession of a controlled substance and operating a vehicle while in- toxicated (refusal). Two arrested for impaired driving in separate stops Petersburg gets new fire truck Petersburg Mayor R. C. Klipsch and Fire Chief Ross Elmore stand next to Petersburg new fire truck. It was delivered late last week. It has a 1,000 gallon a minute pump on it and can haul 3,000 gallons of water. These features enhance the Petersburg/Washington Twp. Fire Departments capabilities in fighting rural fires, where having water available is often difficult.
