Petersburg Police Chief Chuck Baumgart said Linda Wilson was attempting to back up into a parking space around noon on Wednesday, December 20, when she hit the accelerator instead of the brake, which caused her to back into a car behind her, go across the sidewalk and up the embankment in front of the courthouse.

Police recovered a 20 -gauge shotgun, a .22 cal- iber Mossberg rifle, a CO2 BB pistol and a large hunt- ing knife.

One of the juveniles was sent to the juvenile detention center and the other was released to his parents, and a sum- mons for him was requested. • A semi-truck loaded with logs overturned at the Otwell Junction, closing the intersection down to just one lane of traffic.

A semi-truck was in the inter- section so Crouse attempt- ed to turn left to avoid a col- lision, causing the loaded truck and trailer to over- turn.

Kyle Haley, 25, of 405 S. Cherry St., Huntingburg, was stopped by Pike County Deputy Sheriff Jason McK- inney, near the Pike-Daviess County line on Highway 257, when McKinney saw Haley driving 90 mph in a 55 zone. Deputy McKinney said Hal- ey told him he was just "try- ing to see what the truck would do." He had borrowed the truck. Haley passed all field so- briety tests; however, his drivers license was sus- pended. Also during a search of the truck, police found a glass pipe under the cen- ter console. The pipe had a burned residue that field tested positive for meth- amphetamine. Haley told police the pipe wasn't his and must have belonged to someone else because he hadn't smoke meth "in a few months." Haley was taken into cus- tody on preliminary charg- es of possession of meth, possession of parapherna- lia, driving while suspend- ed and reckless driving. Traffic stop leads to meth arrest By Andy Heuring Everyone escaped serious injury last Friday afternoon when two vehicles crashed into each other at the crest of a hill and overturned onto their sides near White Oak. James A. Young, Jr., 53, of Huntingburg, was driving a 1998 Ford Ranger east on CR 250 S., about 1,200 feet east of CR 650 E., when Jay- lon Owens, 19, of 7216 E. CR 250 S., Winslow, was driving a 2007 Jeep Wrangler west. The two met at the crest of a hill. Pike County Sheriff's Deputy Paul Collier said both vehicles were left of center when they topped the hill and both swerved to the right to avoid each other, but still collided and then ran up embankments on both sides of the road, causing both ve- hicles to overturn onto the drivers' sides. Neither driver was injured in the 4:01 p.m. crash. It was estimated to have caused between $2,500 and $5,000 damage. Young was cited for op- erating without financial responsibility and driving while suspended. Two vehicles collide, overturn
