A-8 Tuesday, June 28, 2022 South Gibson Star-Times Expired plates nets drug charges Nathan Wineinger, of Pe- tersburg, was charged with possession of methamphet- amine, driving while suspend- ed, possession of marijuana and possession of parapher- nalia in connection with a traf- fic stop June 15 on Ind. 64 in Princeton. According to the probable cause, the officer noticed ex- pired plates, which he con- firmed before stopping the white Dodge Dart at the Wash- ington Street intersection. Two officers said they smelled burnt marijuana when they approached the vehicle, and Wineinger, who was driv- ing with his dog in the car, told them he'd smoked marijuana 15 minutes earlier. Wineinger had been sus- pended from driving since September 2012, police discov- ered, due to a prior conviction. When they searched the ve- hicle they discovered a clear glass pipe with a green glass skull on one end in the driv- er's side door, which appeared to have burnt residue on it. Wineinger told them he'd smoked methamphetamine from it the day before, and there was methamphetamine in a bag inside the vehicle door—officers found the bag and it field tested positive for meth. They also located a gold metal pipe with burnt residue and a bag of greens that field tested as marijuana, as well as a loaded 9mm gun magazine. Wineinger told police there was a Taurus 9mm GC2 in the trunk. After transporting Wineinger to the Gibson County Jail they turned his dog over to a friend. Man who put knife, hammock in pants arrested Ronnie Chambers, 41, of Vincennes, appeared in court June 21 to request counsel on felony theft and misdemeanor theft charges. According to the proba- ble cause, Menards security called police about a theft- in-progress May 21, after they witnessed Chambers putting a knife in his pocket. Between the time they called and police arrived, security told them they had also seen him put a nylon double ham- mock down the front of his pants. Police stopped Chambers in the parking lot, took him into the security room, and found the stolen items on his person. He had no wallet or money on him. The hammock cost $9.99 plus tax, and the knife $31.99. Chambers had a previous criminal conversion charge from 2009, so he was charged with theft with a prior convic- tion—a felony.

According to the proba- ble cause affadavit, Zachar y Besing and his girlfriend were having an argument and she called police after he spit in her face. When police arrived, Susan Travelstead was on scene waiting on Besing.

Court warns of Sheriff scam The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of In- diana has received reports from victims who have been contacted by scammers claim- ing to be with the "sheriff's office," requesting that the victims pay fines allegedly or- dered by Chief Judge Tanya Walton Pratt for failure to ap- pear for jur y ser vice. This is a scam. A court will never call someone and demand a payment. If you receive such a call, hang up immediately. You can then call the court directly at 317- 229-3700, and legitimate court staff will verify that the victim does not owe any money, has no outstanding warrants, and has not been summoned for jur y duty. A fine will never be imposed until after an individual has ap- peared in court and been giv- en the opportunity to explain a failure to appear. Residents of the Southern District of Indiana who believe they have been the victim of such a scam are encouraged to report the incident to the Federal Trade Commission at https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/. Here is additional informa- tion on things to remember, who to call, and what to do if you are contacted by a scam- mer: Authenticate an email or call by contacting the Clerk's Office of the U.S. District Court in Indianapolis at (317) 229-3700 to verify that the court does not require any action from you and that the scam call did not come from the court. Do not divulge personal information or financial infor- mation to unknown callers, including those who claim to work for a government agency. A court will never ask for a credit/debit card number, gift card number, wire transfers, or bank routing numbers over the phone or by email for any purpose. Report scams to the Feder- al Trade Commission. You can remain anonymous when you report. Life Milestones made free Put a free photo with write up on Weddings, Anniversaries & Engagements.
