Conder, of 8406 S. 1000 E., Velpen, on October 24 that resulted in the arrest of Staci Conder for domestic battery. Pike County Sheriff's Sgt. Buck Seger was dispatched to Velpen when Thomas Conder called 911 stating he had been struck in the face by his ex-wife. Thom- as told dispatch that he had restrained Staci until she calmed down and then fled from the residence up the roadway, according to the report. Thomas stated that Staci had the keys to his ve- hicle. While Deputy Seger was traveling to the residence, Staci called 911 stating that Thomas threw her to the rocks and she was locked inside her house with her 15 -year-old son. Seger's re- port stated that Staci had wanted Thomas to pick up his dog earlier in the eve- ning, but avoided giving a reason as to why Thomas threw her on the rocks. Staci then explained that Thomas had intimidated her by getting into her face and she responded by doing it back, while stating she was scared of him and denied hitting Thomas in the face. Asked if she had anything to drink, she advised six beers, according to the re- port. Deputy Simmons ar- rived on scene and adminis- tered a portable breath test, where Staci tested .113. Thomas had brought his son back to Staci's residence because his work was send- ing him out of state. Staci had requested Thomas pick up his dog that night and he came by around 10 :30 p.m. A confrontation occurred while Thomas was walking the dog to his vehicle and that's when Staci hit him, according to Thomas. Sta- ci contended she thought Thomas could have been a threat when he came by the house and that he was lucky she did not have her gun with her. Staci was read her Miranda rights. Both were asked to make a vol- untary statement, but Sta- ci refused, according to the report. Both parties stated they were afraid the oth- er party had a gun, but nei- ther was armed. Seger ob- served a fresh cut on Thom- as' inside lip. Their son ad- vised officers that he had not seen or heard the argument and was inside the residence when it took place, accord- ing to the report. Staci told officers where she had thrown the keys and Seger found them, and observed the siding on the residence had been cracked from the keys being thrown. While being transported to the jail, Staci stated that she may have busted Thomas' lip, but it was when he threw her on the ground, accord- ing to the report. She was charged with domestic bat- tery. Winslow woman arrested for OVWI By Andy Heuring A rural Winslow woman was arrested after police saw her sitting in a rural church parking lot at 11:49 p.m. Sun- day with damage to her car. Carrie E. Tooley, 46, of 1554 E. CR 700 E., Winslow, was arrested on a charge of operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol content of 0.15 percent. Indiana State Trooper C. J. Boeckman said he was driving south on CR 900 E. at about 11:50 p.m. Sunday when he saw a vehicle sit- ting in front of the New Lib- erty Union Church. When he turned around to go back and check on the ve- hicle, it turned its lights off. Boeckman said he stopped to check on the driver to see if they were okay, and he no- ticed the passenger side mir- ror was hanging and the win- dow was broken, with a limb was hanging off the side of the car. Boeckman said Pike County Deputy Sheriff Jar- ed Simmons arrived just shortly after he did. While talking with Tooley, Troop- er Boeckman said he noticed two beer cans in the con- sole, one of them was open and the odor of alcohol was coming from the car. He said Tooley told him she had been drinking, and she ran off the road and hit a tree, causing the damage to her car. According to a probable cause affidavit, Tooley said she had a bad day and just wanted to go for a drive. She failed field sobriety tests and was taken to the Pike County Jail, where she tested 0.18 percent for blood alcohol content.
