said Moyes has no money, she turned in her multiple pass- ports with multiple aliases to her attorney and she needs to be released in order to pre- pare her defense. Pike County Prosecutor Darrin McDonald has faced great frustration throughout this case in what happened once Moyes found out she had a warrant for her arrest. "Looking back at how things proceeded, I am aggra- vated that the Department of Child Ser vices (DCS) saw fit to tell Ms. Moyes that the "po- lice were looking for her" on the night they went to ser ve the arrest warrant," McDon- ald said. "This complicated things significantly and Mr. Brooks (Tanner) had no business interfering in ser vice of an arrest warrant. Also, I am saddened, frustrated and dis- appointed by DCS' decision to fire Caseworker Stephanie Gilmour, who testified about the safety plans. I had a DCS attorney tell me that there were only '16' safety plans, but, perhaps she [Stephanie] was confused because the caseworkers had been out there 'a 100 times.' I don't know the exact numbers, but, I have never had a reason to doubt Stephanie's integrity. Stephanie has been a fantastic advocate for kids in this com- munity over the past five to six years, and, she is held in high regard by local law enforce- ment." A pretrial hearing is set for today (Wednesday), begin- ning at 1:30 p.m. in Judge Bi- ester veld's court. "We are pleased that Judge Biester veld denied Ms. Moy- es' motion for bond reduc- tion," McDonald said. "We look for ward to the opportu- nity to convince a jur y of the merit of the charges beyond reasonable doubt. I under- stand that there is much pub- lic sentiment on this case, but, I strongly urge folks to give Ms. Moyes the presumption of innocence we are all guar- anteed, and also give the pros- ecution the opportunity to overcome the burden of proof at a fair trial for all." The Press-Dispatch attempt- ed to speak with Moyes' at- torney, Faye Laurel Lethem Wanchic Hedinger, but she did not return calls as of press time. A-2 Wednesday, September 21, 2022 The Press-Dispatch Young arrested for possession and PI By James Capozella Press-Dispatch News news@pressdispatch.net Pike County Deputy Bryce Manning and Petersburg Po- lice Chief Kyle Mills investigat- ed a report regarding someone looking into residence windows near CR 50 this past Friday. Mills witnessed Crystal A. Young, 41, 3880 W River Road, Petersburg, in a ditch along SR 57 and after both Mills and Deputy Manning determined Young was under the influence of meth, she was cuffed and de- tained for her safety. Young did not know where she was but was looking for Tom Miller's house and a house across from Jim Jones. Young had slurred speech, un- controllable body and mouth movements and continued that way until she was cuffed and placed in Manning's pa- trol car. Mills found a plastic bag with white crystal that field tested positive for meth in the ditch where Young was first seen. There were also two rolled-up burnt pieces of foil, four ciga- rettes and a torch lighter. Young was charged with pos- session of methamphetamine under five grams, possession of marijuana and public intoxi- cation, and transported to the Pike County Jail by Deputy Manning.

FALL Continued from page 1 BOND Continued from page 1 FORWARD Continued from page 1 MUSIC Continued from page 1 Julie Marone from Living Faith Church International in Petersburg approached the council about having the alley closed behind their property. She told the council the alley runs behind the church. About a year ago the church asked the town about closing the alley and a dispute between the owner of a house next door and the church developed. Marone said a young couple bought the house and they have talked to them. She said the new owners do not want the alley closed even though the church offered them an easement from Highway 61 to their property. Marone said the church owns the property on both sides of the alley and wants it closed for safe- ty reasons. She asked if the city didn't close the alley if they were going to make the people who own the fence and yard building get them out of the alley. "We are not in the business of telling people to take down buildings," said Mayor R. C. Klipsch. He also said they are not go- ing to tell the new owners if they don't agree to closing the alley they will have to move their fence and building. Klipsch suggested the church submit a petition to the council to have the alley closed and they would have a hearing on the matter and hear for all sides in it. Traylor asks for help with detour damages Melissa Traylor, who lives on Harvest Lane where the de- tour of Highway 61 passed her house. "We were told anything that was damaged would be re- paired," said Traylor. She said before the detour they had spent about $6,500 re- doing their landscaping, putting down paver bricks, flowers and landscaping rock. During the detour, traffic continually ran over them until many of them are mashed into the ground. "I am not here to complain over the price of progress. I re- alize that in order for road con- ditions to improve, there has to be a way around. What I am having trouble with is looking at our landscaping every day and knowing that we haven't been told of a plan to correct this," said Traylor. She said during the time of the detour a semi-truck hit a fire hydrant, while she was away from home and when they got back home they found their crawl space had been flooded. Traylor praised the work by city and county police in trying to police traffic and truck traffic in the area. Mayor Klipsch told her they had city police responding to the area that was in the county because they knew it was going to be a nightmare. But he said it is outside the city and there was nothing the city could do to help Traylor. "We don't have any authority outside the city," said Klipsch. He suggested she contact the Indiana Department of Trans- portation and Pike County. Water project updates Petersburg City Services Manager Ross Elmore said the Main St. waterline project is done and the old water line has been cut off and filled. Elmore said another water line project running near the Riverwood (Lamb Addition) was being delayed until the end of September. He explained some trees need to be cut down, but due to the Indiana Bat they can not remove them until October. He also said the high service pump that went out at the water plant should be fixed in about 10 days. Elmore said they are waiting on parts and when they arrive the repairs will be com- pleted and they will be able to get the pump operational. Mayor Klipsch said the com- pany installing the new street lights as part of the Streetscape project ordered the wrong bracket for the arms that hold a light over the sidewalk. So that has been delayed until they get the new parts. "They are say- ing five days. We will see," said Klipsch. Other projects coming in- cluding paving Main St. Klipsch said the Indiana De- partment of Transportation is going to be doing deep patching work on Main St. this Fall, fixing where it has been cut by the wa- ter line installation. Next Spring they will pave Main St. Also in the works are new traf- fic lights on Main St. and redo- ing the rail crossing on Highway 57. The next Petersburg City Council meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Monday, October 3.
