By Andy Heuring A father was arrested for driving while intoxicated af- ter he rolled his truck, with his nine-year-old daughter inside, on I-69. Both escaped injury in the crash, where the pickup truck left black marks up the side wall of the bridge over Highway 57. John D. Woodall, 39, of Anderson, was arrested fol- lowing the 8:13 p.m. crash Friday night. According to police, Woodall was driving north on I-69 when he lost control, hit the bridge con- crete siding over Highway 57, and overturned. Police had already start- ed toward the crash because they got a call from a motor- ist following Woodall who reported him being all over the road and nearly hitting several other motorists. Sheriff's Sgt. Dallas Killian said he and Depu- ty Paul Collier arrived on the scene at about the same time. He began talking to Woodall's nine-year-old daughter and Deputy Col- lier talked to Woodall. Collier said Woodall was only able to complete one of several field sobriety tests. Police noticed he had a folding knife in his pocket and when they took it from Woodall, he turned away from them and began yell- ing obscenities. Police said eventually Woodall demanded to be tested for alcohol content, then refused to take the test, but later agreed to take it. He tested more than three times the limit on the porta- ble breath test and was tak- en to the Daviess Commu- nity Hospital, where he test- ed 0.22 percent for blood al- cohol content, and positive for marijuana and benzodi- azepines. The legal limit for blood alcohol content in In- diana is 0.08 percent. Woodall arrested for DWI after I-69 crash A rural Petersburg man was arrested near Win- slow Elementary School on charges of illegal possession of prescription drugs after police received reports of a suspicious man hanging out near the school recently. David A. King, 55, of 1342 E. CR 550 N., Petersburg, was arrested by Petersburg Police Cpl. Scott Wright on May 12 on Porter St., near the elementary school, on charges of legend drug pos- session, a class A misde- meanor, and possession of a schedule IV controlled sub- stance within 500 feet of a school, a level 6 felony. Cpl. Wright said he was working as the School Re- source Officer that day and received information about a suspicious man, believed to be David King, park- ing along the side of the road and watching children walk home after school. Cpl. Wright said as he was driving north on Highway 61, he saw King riding a moped south on Highway 61 near Sugar Ridge Road (CR 150 S). Wright turned around and followed King until he turned onto Porter St., which is a one-way street coming from the elementary school. He said King pulled over near the playground at the school, where about 100 kids were playing. Wright stopped him and King showed him a large amount of pills in prescrip- tion bottles in the seat of his moped. The bottles had King's name on them; how- ever, some of the bottles had pills other than what was in- dicated on the labels. Cpl. Wright said he found two pills that were different than any of the prescriptions King had, which made them illegal for him to possess. King was taken into cus- tody and his moped was im- pounded. King arrested near Winslow school with illegal drugs By Jim Capozella A call from a cashier at Huck's in Petersburg con- cerning a female having a bad night with a disabled car resulted in an arrest for possession of marijua- na and paraphernalia by Petersburg Cpl. Jared Sim- mons. The 3:52 a.m. Sun- day incident involved a dis- traught woman outside the Huck's gas station, accord- ing to Cpl. Simmons. Simmons and Sheriff's Deputy Jason McKinney located a female, identi- fied as Natasha Kopp, who was showing signs of meth- amphetamine intoxication with extreme nervousness, fidgeting, dilated pupils and poor manual dexterity. When asked to search Kopp's purse, she gave per- mission and began dumping the purse out on the ground. Simmons located a silver and black smoking device with burnt marijuana resi- due in it, a small silver grind- er, with a green peace sign, with a small amount of mari- juana inside and also a small clear plastic bag, with an eight ball on it, which con- tained marijuana residue. Kopp confirmed it was marijuana but said it wasn't hers, according to the re- port. Kopp was advised that she was under arrest for pos- session of marijuana and possession of parapherna- lia. She was then handcuffed and transported to the Pike County Jail, where she be- came uncooperative with jail staff and had to be placed on suicide watch. By Jim Capozella On May 22 at approxi- mately 12:17 a.m., Depu- ty Jason McKinney was on routine traffic duty on I-69 and observed a white Nis- san driving north at 84 in a 70 mph speed zone and stopped the subject at the 46 -mile marker. A check of license plate in- formation revealed the driv- er to be Jose Angle Gonza- les Chaves, of Newburgh. Chaves produced a Hondu- ras passport and ID card, but was found to have nev- er been issued a driver's li- cense. He was taken into custody and transported to the Pike County Security Center. A brother from In- dianapolis used a trailer to transport the car from the interstate, according to the report. McKinney was assisted at the scene by ISP Troop- er C.J. Boeckman. Togeth- er, they interviewed Chaves, who was allowed to call his brother to assist with the traffic stop since Chaves spoke little English. By Jim Capozella Sheriff's Deputy Mike Willis responded to a cen- tral dispatch call reporting a Jarred R. Newport, of 811 S. Ohio St., Bicknell, was in violation of a protective or- der out of Pike County. The 1 a.m. Friday call advised that Susan Davis had called dispatch and stated that Mr. Newport was at Penny Newport's residence locat- ed at 132 S. CR 125 W., Pe- tersburg. Willis spoke with Mr. Newport after Newport stepped outside the resi- dence. Newport said he was never served the protective order, but a check of the In- diana protection order regis- try confirmed that the Pike County Protective order had been served by Knox Coun- ty Deputy John Fuller on May 15. Willis then arrested New- port for invasion of privacy and transported him to the Pike County Sheriff's Of- fice, according to the report. Kopp arrested for pot possession Chaves charged with no driver's license Man arrested for privacy invasion FISH HUT Continued from page 1 still working through the in- surance. "Our plan is to get it going again, but as far as a timeline, we just don't know yet," said Henson. "I don't suspect any foul play at this point. Still kind of checking on some things to make sure," said Matt Wells of the State Fire Mar- shal's office. He inspected the fire scene on Saturday morning. Wells said the building's alarm system probably greatly reduced the damage by its early warning. "Usual- ly a fire like this, at that time of the morning, is a signif- icant event because they aren't detected until late," said Wells. "I'm thanking the good Lord no one was hurt. The Winslow and Patoka fire de- partments did a great job and I'm very appreciative the job they did and that no one got hurt," said Henson. A pickup truck crash on I-69 dumped the contents of its bed onto the highway when it overturned at about 8:13 p.m. Friday. John Woodall, 39, of Anderson, and his nine-year-old daughter escaped injury. Woodall was arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated. Winslow and Patoka Township firemen work on a fire that damaged the Fish Hut restaurant in Winslow early Saturday morning. Owners said they hope to reopen the store, but didn't have a timeline for that yet.
