ELECTION Continued from page 1 By Andy Heuring A rural Petersburg man was arrested for drunken driving after he crashed his SUV into a tree and ditch. Adam James White, 35, was arrested around 7:45 p.m. Thursday, about a half- mile from where he crashed into a tree on CR 150 W. Witnesses said they saw the SUV White was driving accelerate out of a 90 -degree turn, fish tail, then drive through a deep ditch and hit a tree. Witnesses also said they saw White climb from the Dodge SUV. State Troop- er Chase Eaton said he ar- rived on the scene about a minute later and found the SUV unoccupied. White was located about a half-mile away on CR 200 N. by Sheriff's Deputy Dal- las Killian. He was treated at the scene by EMS and then transported to the Pike County Jail, where he test- ed 0.161 percent for blood al- cohol content. White was charged with operating a vehicle with a prior, operating a vehicle while intoxicated, endanger- ment and leaving the scene of an accident. A Dubois County teen was arrested late Sunday night when he rolled down his window to ask an off-du- ty officer for directions. Cameron J. Stafford, 19, of 8548 N. Crystal Rd., Dubois, was arrested on a charge of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia. Pike County Deputy Mike Willis said he was contacted by Deputy Buck Seger, who was directing traffic at a mo- torcycle race when he talk- ed with Stafford and noticed the smell of marijuana. Deputy Willis said when he arrived on the scene, offi- cers located a blue glass pipe that had the odor of burnt marijuana, and a glass jar and metal grinder that both had a green leafy substance inside them. According to Deputy Willis' report, Staf- ford told Deputy Willis he had smoked marijuana 20 minutes earlier. Stafford failed field so- briety tests and was taken to the Daviess Community Hospital, where he tested positive for marijuana. Stafford's juvenile passen- ger was taken to the Pike County Jail, where he wait- ed for his parents to pick him up. By Andy Heuring In a brief meeting, Count y Commissioners opened bids from two companies for a new control system at Pike Coun- t y Jail and approved a $ 2,000 additional speed study on a count y road. Convergent Securities Inc. bid $146,100 for the jail con- trol systems. T he other bid was $180,440 from Securit y Automation Systems. Both bids were taken under ad- visement. At a previous meeting, Sherif f Jeremy Britton said the current control system was in place since the jail opened in 1994. He said for the last five years, they have been cannibalizing parts from doors that are in non-se - cure areas to put on doors in secure areas, because parts are no longer available. " We have been written up for the past five years on this system being inadequate," said Britton. "It is definitely a securit y concern." T he system controls nu- merous functions through- out the jail, including: door locks, cameras and commu- nications into cells between central command and in- mates in the jail. It also gives them the abilit y to turn of f lights and water to individu- al cells or cell blocks. "I'm afraid it is going to fail and we are going to be in a mess," said Britton. At the time, he estimated the system would cost more than $150,000. In other business, com- missioners approved $ 2,000 to extend a speed study on CR 650 E., near the Old Iron Bridge spanning the Patoka R iver. A n engineer told the count y it was a miscommu- nication on how much of CR 650 E. needed to be includ- ed in the speed study. The study was to include all the way from the bridge to High- way 364. She said the original study would have cost $ 2,000 if they had done it all at once. "It was just a miscommu- nication. I'm sorr y for that." T he Iron Bridge is being replaced through a Federal A id project. Federal guide - lines called for a speed study on that section of road. Highway Superintendent Roger Ham asked Count y Auditor Ron Wilson if their accounting program could track their Motor Vehicle Highway funds. He said a new state rule requires the coun- t y to show proof they spent 50 percent of the M V H funds on road improvements. Auditor Wilson said it wasn't part of their current software but said he would see if it was available. At a previous meeting, the Highway Department talked to commissioners about get- ting a software package that would track their M V H funds. However, it was estimated to cost between $14,000 and $ 30,000. T he next meeting is set for 8 : 30 a.m. Monday, May 7 in the courthouse auditorium. Two charged with OVWI in separate incidents Commissioners open bids for new jail control system No injuries when bus hit No one was injured when a car slammed into the back of a school bus stopped on Highway 57 at about 3:45 p.m. Tuesday. Pike County Deputy Sheriff Buck Seger said Alfred Wint, 70, of Whitelock Ave., Petersburg, was driving north on Highway 57, looking into the sun and didn't realize the school bus was stopped. Deputy Seger said Wint initially started to go around the bus, but saw a student crossing the road and steered back in- to his lane hitting the bus. Students were removed from Bus Number 4, driven by Heather Braunecker and either released to their parents or transferred to another bus. Wint was cited for disregarding a school bus crossing arm.
