At 7:29 p.m. Saturday, Petersburg Po- lice Officer Zach Loveless went to a resi- dence in Petersburg, following a call from the mother of Brames, who said he was suicidal and told his mother he had tak- en heroin. Upon arrival, Pike County Sheriff Dep- uty Bryce Manning and Loveless were let into the residence by an elderly woman. Police identified themselves and asked Brames to come out of his bedroom. He came out of his bedroom with a can of so- da and told police he was having trouble with his blood sugar levels. Police noticed Brames swaying back and forth and asked him if he had been drinking. Brames said he had drank a pint of alcohol. Brames asked police if they thought he needed to get checked out and police told him if he was having medical issues, they would like him to get checked out to make sure he was okay. Brames also told Police that he had been having suicidal thoughts because his grandmother was "stressing him out." Brames looked outside and saw that more police had arrived on the scene and said, "Here comes the cops again, the whole force is about to knock this place down." Upon arrival of Pike County EMS, Brames was taken to the ambulance where he became very agitated and start- ed screaming at EMS staff. Police en- tered the ambulance to help get Brames under control. A short struggle ensued between Brames, which resulted in Love- less being cut by the sharp edge of the soda can. When Brames was advised to put his hands behind his back, he shouted pro- fanities at police and continued to strug- gle. With the help of Manning, Loveless got Brames into the back of the police car where he began to hit his head numerous times against the window, while scream- ing profanities at the police. Due to his intoxication level, police de- cided to get medical clearance from the hospital before taking him to jail. Brames had to be sedated at the scene due to his manic outbreaks. State Trooper Brayden Angermeier ar- rived and helped police get Brames onto a gurney where EMS crew began the se- dation process. Brames was then transported to Da- viess County Hospital and charged with Battery and Disorderly Conduct. Washington man arrested for dealing marijuana By Sherri Sebella A Washington, Indiana man, later iden- tified as Phillip DiMaggio, 64, was arrest- ed for dealing in marijuana, possession of marijuana, and possession of parapher- nalia, after being stopped by Pike Coun- ty Sheriff's Department Sergeant Jared Simmons, for not using a turn signal. Police were following DiMaggio when he failed to use his turn signal on Main Street in Petersburg on Saturday, May 14. Upon initiating a traffic stop, Police spoke with DiMaggio, who said he was in Pe- tersburg to visit a friend, but he did not know his friend's name. Police noticed the strong smell of mar- ijuana coming from DiMaggio's vehicle while speaking to DiMaggio. DiMaggio said he was meeting his friend at the Bar and Grill in town. As he exited the vehicle, DiMaggio dropped a baggie full of marijuana on the ground. Police asked DiMaggio if he was going to sell the marijuana to his friend and DiMaggio replied, "No, I'm just dropping it off for him." During a search of the vehicle, police located a marijuana smoking bowl that had a medical use label on it. DiMaggio was questioned about who he was delivering the marijuana to. DiMaggio was unable to give the person's name but was able to tell police where the house was and that he was supposed to drop the marijuana off in a black Equinox and lock the door. DiMaggio said that he was getting paid $20 to drop off the mar- ijuana. The marijuana weighed approximate- ly 28.9 grams. Police explained that even just delivering the marijuana to the resi- dence is dealing in marijuana. DiMaggio was issued a summons to ap- pear in court for dealing in marijuana, possession of marijuana, and possession of paraphernalia. Police went to the location DiMaggio told them and spoke with occupants of the residence. The man who answered confirmed that there was supposed to be marijuana delivered. Police advised him that they had stopped his delivery driver and it wouldn't be getting delivered. Petersburg woman charged with possession of meth, marijuana By Sherri Sebella A 60 year-old Petersburg woman was charged with Possession of Methamphet- amine and Possession of Marijuana after a routine traffic stop for having a head- light out. Jennifer McCrary, 60, of Petersburg, was traveling South on White River Av- enue in Petersburg with a headlight out when Pike County Sheriff's Department Sergeant Jared Simmons initiated a traf- fic stop. According to the probable cause affida- vit filed, after pulling over McCrary's vehi- cle and speaking with her, Police smelled the strong odor of raw marijuana coming from the vehicle. Additional Police arrived on the scene and while Simmons was run- ning McCrary's driver's information, he asked Police to see if McCrary had her insurance card and asked Police to con- firm the odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. Police asked McCrary if there was any marijuana in the vehicle to which she re- plied, "No." Police asked if she smoked marijuana and McCrary advised she has smoked for a long time. Police advised Mc- Crary that they were going to search the vehicle and asked if there was anything in the vehicle. McCrary advised that there was nothing in the vehicle. As Police began a search of the vehi- cle, they located a cigarette pack contain- ing one marijuana roach. Police also locat- ed a small Advil container that contained marijuana residue in it. Further into their search, Police found a Suboxone prescrip- tion bottle with McCrary's name on it that contained a clear plastic baggie with mar- ijuana in the baggie. Police also located a small pink and yellow rubber container that had a crystal-like residue in it that field tested positive for methamphetamine. Police called female Petersburg Police Officer Taylor Deffendall to come search McCrary's person. Police showed McCrary the field test kit and asked her if the positive indication col- or was blue and McCrary agreed that it was blue. Police asked McCrary how long she had been using methamphetamine and she stated that she did not use it. When asked about the container found in her purse, McCrary stated that the container was not hers, and then she stated that she had many containers like the one Police located in her purse. Policed placed McCrary in handcuffs and read her Miranda Warning. McCrary started to become argumentative and un- cooperative. Police transported McCrary to Pike County Jail. While being transport- ed to jail, Police located in the grass where McCrary was standing, another small rub- ber pink and yellow container identical to the one located in her purse that field test- ed positive for methamphetamine. McCrary was charged with Possession of Methamphetamine and Possession of Marijuana. Power Mart prize winners Petersburg Power Mart Customer Appreciation Day prize winners were recently announced.
