A few months ago, the town adopted an trap, neuter or spay and release policy to try and deal with the problem. At the last meeting, Mar- shall said the town's animal holding facility was full of cats and he couldn't take any more. Lamb said she has talk- ed with a company that is go- ing to have a one-day spay and neutering event for cats in 2022. She said they need a minimum of 80 cats to be op- erated on, but they will take as many as 125. In other business, Lamb said the town has an online auction at Graber Auctions for the town's surplus equipment, which includes a fire truck, a used tractor and other equip- ment. She said it runs until De- cember 8. The council also discussed having open gym hours at the Community Center on Sunday afternoons. Lamb said they will try to set hours for it in the future.

Foundation awards $110,929 to local organizations Moore arrested at gunpoint By James Capozella An attempted traffic stop by Indiana State Trooper B. Angermeier resulted in a foot chase and gunpoint arrest of Billy J. Moore, 37, of 4799 N. CR 200 E., Petersburg, this past Saturday evening. A fter the arrest, Moore was found to have active fel- ony warrants out of Vander- burgh County for possession of methamphetamine and possession of controlled sub- stance (no bond). Trooper Angermeier re- ports that he originally ob- served a blue van fail to come to a complete stop on Fourth Street, near Cherry Street. When Angermeier activated his emergency lights, the van quickly turned into the drive- way of 410 Fourth Street. A f- ter Angermeier got behind the van, he witnessed the pas- senger door open and a per- son run from the vehicle in a northwest direction, accord- ing to the report. Angermeier pursued the subject on foot through the side yard and into the back- yard of 302 E. Cedar, identi- fying himself and giving loud commands to stop. Once past a group of trees, Angermeier saw a white male on his back facing him. Angermeier held the subject at gunpoint and gave commands to roll over and put his hands behind his back, to which the subject, lat- er identified as Moore, com- plied. During the pat down, Moore told Angermeier that he had a hidden knife in his boot and another on his per- son. Moore also admitted hav- ing a small amount of marijua- na and a THC cartridge. He told officers that he ran because of the warrants and that he didn't want to be in jail over Christmas, according to the report. Petersburg Officer Scott Arnold and Deputy Bryce Manning arrived at the scene to assist with the van driv- er, Taylor McCandless, who was released with a traffic vi- olation, according to the re- port. A black bag dropped by Moore at the end of the chase had several knives and lethal cutting weapons. This and Moore's property were placed in a truck at Moore's father's residence.
