Bulletin Woman charged with auto theft Police charged Angela Wilson, who currently has no address, with auto theft among other charges after a suspicious persons call from the Haubstadt Pilot June 16 at 9:28 a.m., according to the Gibson County Sheriff's of- fice affadavit. The store manager report- ed a female had concealed merchandise on her person, and reported her to be in a silver truck. Wilson told police she couldn't find the keys or her identification. The truck's licence plate came back stolen from Phil- lip Tyrie, of Hopkinsville, Ky., who was also missing his wallet with $300 in it. According to police a search of the truck locat- ed Tyrie's wallet without the cash. The truck con- tained women's clothing, craft items, makeup, a USB charging cord and a hat that were found to be stolen from the Pilot. Wilson told police she'd been recently battered and had taken a pistol from Ty- rie, wrapped it in a towel and hidden it in the truck. While locating the gun, po- lice found a white powder y residue believed to be drugs cut at an angle, which would suggest it was used to ingest drugs. Wilson was charged with •Auto theft •Theft of a firearm •Misdemeanor theft •Carr ying a gun without a license •Possession of parapher- nalia She was in court June 21, when bail was set at $1,250 and a progress hearing set for Aug. 9. Princeton woman pleads guilty after testing .316 BAC A woman with her child was transported to the hos- pital by police after they say she was publicly intoxicated and possibly a danger to her- self. According to the probable cause, Brenda Lofton, 48, of Princeton, was leaning against a house on Seminar y Street in physical distress when police spotted her June 14. She was sweating and out of breath with a juvenile boy, and said they were going to Casey's General Store for sweets. Lofton had difficulty stand- ing, and the portable breath- alyzer put her at .316 in the 95 degree heat, causing the officer to believe she was in danger. Police took her to Deacon- ess Gibson and then to Gib- son County Jail on charges of public intoxication. She was in court June 16, plead guilty and was sen- tenced to time ser ved, (three days) and court fees. Overton, Jr. sentenced for battery Jon Overton, Jr. was sen- tenced to 1,500 days jail sus- pended to 1,140 days after pleading guilty June 15 to felony domestic batter y re- sulting in serious bodily inju- r y. As a condition of the plea deal he's required to partici- pate in work release if eligi- ble and to enroll in a program called "AMENDS" once he is released. The charges stem from a March 4, 2021 offense when Princeton Police responded to a call from Gibson General Hospital from Sereniti Os- borne, then Overton's girl- friend, who told Princeton Police they were drinking at a coworker's house when Overton pushed her and ver- bally abused her. Then, according to the report, Overton became aggressive again at her res- idence in Princeton, and threw her off the porch. According to Deaconness Gibson General reports, Os- borne had a broken clavicle. Overton originally told police he swatted his girl- friend's hands from him and it resulted in her falling off the porch. A neighbor had video sur veillance, however, that covered the residence, and showed Overton throwing Osborne in a manner police described as forceful. 4-H Club visits Goedde Oil By Annie Lucas 4-H Reporter news@sgstartimes.com Owensville Boys and Girls 4-H Club went to Goedde Oil Inc. and ProRehab in Haub- stadt on Sunday, June 12. At Goedde Oil Inc., Paul Goedde told us about the different types of oil that his business hauls to different lo- cations. At ProRehab, Kelli Goedde and Tiffany Arnold told us how they treat people who have injuries or illnesses that make them sick. Paul Goedde has owned his business for 26 years. Goedde Oil Inc. sells different types of oil to different businesses or people. Some of these oils include hydraulic, way, diesel exhaust, or just any type of oil you can think of. Paul's business receives one tank of fuel ever y day which gets stored in their 8000 gallons of total fuel storage. His business hauls this oil in trucks that have a capacity up to 4000 gallons. These trucks have five compartments so they can take five types of oil. In other trucks there are sepa- rate hoses that gas and diesel go through so they don't mix. Goedde Oil Inc. also has pumps on the side of the build- ing to sell off-road and road diesel. Kelli Goedde is a physical therapist and the clinic man- ager of ProRehab. Tiffany Ar- nold is an occupational thera- pist who works at ProRehab. They both took important classes such as biology, sci- ence, physics, and electricity in college because this job re- quires many important skills. Communication skills are also important because they may have to talk to physicians, nurses, and other doctors. ProRehab helps patients get better by influencing the way they move. They use lots of different equipment to do this such as treadmills, trampo- lines, and exercise balls. They also use electricity because it helps with muscle contracting. ProRehab also does custom splinting by using thermoplas- tic material. This can be used for a wide variety of muscle injuries. First, they trace out the in- jur y on a piece of paper to get the appropriate measurement for a splint. Then, they put the paper on top of the ther- moplastic and cut it out. Next, they put the thermoplastic in hot water. This activates the plastic so it will harden. finally, they place the thermoplastic around the injured area and wrap it with velcro straps. This meeting helped our club learn more about Goedde Oil Inc. and how Paul's busi- ness functions, and how Pro- Rehab treats people who have injuries or illnesses that make them physically weak. Kelli Goedde demonstrates how to make a thermo- plastic splint to visitning 4-H members. Paul Goedde explains how a fuel truck works to visiting 4-H members.
