Sorry Officer I don't have time to be arrested for another Traffic offense
Posted October 23, 2025, 1:53 pm
orry officer, I don’t have time to be arrested—I’ve got traffic tickets to pay.” That was the energy radiating from a driver who turned a routine patrol into a neighborhood spectacle on October 22, 2025. Officers spotted a vehicle sporting a stolen license plate near Washington Ave and S Lincoln Park Dr. They initiated a traffic stop, expecting the usual dance of paperwork and polite excuses. Instead, they got a full-blown escape attempt. The driver claimed she had no license, no insurance, and apparently no intention of sticking around. When asked to shut off the vehicle and step out, she responded by rolling up the windows and flooring it southbound—leaving officers in a cloud of disbelief and exhaust. A perimeter was quickly established, and the chase ended not with a dramatic crash, but with a quiet discovery: two houses north of the original stop, the vehicle sat parked like nothing had happened. The driver, however, came with a résumé that would make any traffic court clerk wince—designated a habitual traffic violator for life, found in possession of a controlled substance, and reportedly issued verbal threats against the arresting officers and their families that were as creative as they were disturbing. It’s the kind of case that reminds you: sometimes the most dangerous thing on the road isn’t the vehicle—it’s the story behind the wheel. All Suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
“Lines Drawn in Silence: Saturday at the ICE Facility
Posted October 22, 2025, 3:38 pm
The air was still, but the message was loud. On Saturday evening, a quiet crowd gathered outside Portland’s ICE facility, their presence a deliberate act of resistance. No chants. No speeches. Just bodies, signs, and silence—each one a statement against the looming threat of federal escalation. The protest came days after the Ninth Circuit Court lifted one of two restraining orders blocking National Guard deployment to Portland. Though troops have not yet entered the city, the legal gears are turning—and the community is watching. Among the crowd were teachers, veterans, students, and parents. Some held candles. Others clutched handwritten signs: “We see you,” “No boots, no batons,” and “Protect Portland, not politics.” A few wore masks bearing the names of those detained inside. One restraining order still in place. A second temporary restraining order—also issued by U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut—still prevents deployment. The Trump administration has asked for it to be lifted, and Oregon had until October 21 to respond. It might be active today so follow are News Feed on Facebook for live updates as the story develops.
Evansville Fire Department Crews are up early this morning battling a House Fire on Oakley Street. This was quickly updated to a 2 Alarm Fire and crews were told to go into defensive mode very quickly. I am listening now to the chatter and they are still fighting it.

The Waiting Game: SNAP Benefits and the Shutdown Standoff in Indiana"
Posted October 21, 2025, 3:07 pm
By: A concerned observer of Hoosier hardship As the federal government shutdown stretches into its third week, uncertainty looms over the dinner tables of nearly 600,000 Hoosiers who rely on SNAP benefits to feed their families. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has issued a stark warning: if Congress fails to pass a budget or continuing resolution by the end of October, November food stamp payments may not arrive. In Indiana, the Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) has been told to halt preparations for November benefits. The message from Washington was clear—there may not be enough money to fund them. Pam Verbarg, with the Arc of Greater Boone County, voiced what many advocates fear: “It could have very significant impacts on those families and the health of their children.” Her organization sponsors the WIC program, which is also facing a funding freeze. Fred Glass, CEO of Gleaners Food Bank in Indianapolis, didn’t mince words: “Real Hoosiers are going to be in real pain because of this unnecessary shutdown of government services”. 🔍 Who’s to blame? Finger-pointing in Washington has become a ritual. Republicans argue that Democrats are overspending and ignoring fiscal responsibility. Democrats counter that Republicans are holding essential services hostage over partisan demands. The truth? Both parties share the stage in this political theater, and the audience—ordinary Americans—are the ones paying the price. 🍽️ What’s next for Indiana? Unless Congress acts swiftly, Indiana residents may not receive their November SNAP deposits. The USDA has not guaranteed backpay for missed benefits, and local agencies are scrambling to prepare contingency plans. For now, food banks brace for a surge in demand. Families brace for empty cupboards. And the state waits—caught in a political crossfire that shows no signs of resolution.
We are following a story of a House Fire on West Mill Street in Patoka Indiana. Crews were dispatched a little before 5 pm today for a fire with entrapment. Which means someone was caught inside. We have also learned from other News Sources that the Coroner has been called to the scene. Several News Outlets have dispatched crews to the scene so hopefully we will get some more info soon. If not, I will reach out to the Patoka Fire Department in the morning.
Public Records Suggest Bryan Douglas Schini Is Suspect in Evansville Stabbings
Posted October 20, 2025, 6:53 pm
EVANSVILLE, Ind. — A manhunt is underway for Bryan Schini, the suspect named by the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office in connection with a violent stabbing incident that occurred on October 19, 2025. Two residents were injured—one stabbed in the back, the other sustaining a defensive wound to the hand—after an altercation on Meridian Drive. Authorities have issued warrants and are actively searching for Schini, who fled the scene. Public court records reviewed by this outlet suggest that Bryan Douglas Schini, recently charged with criminal trespass in Vanderburgh County, may be the same individual now wanted for attempted murder. 📂 Timeline of Events On September 18, 2025, Bryan Douglas Schini was charged with misdemeanor criminal trespass after allegedly entering property without permission. He posted an $85 cash bond but failed to appear for his initial hearing, prompting a no-bond bench warrant. The warrant was recalled the following day when Schini appeared in court and was ordered to stay away from St. Vincent Hospital. A pretrial conference in the trespass case is scheduled for December 12, 2025. 🧩 Connecting the Dots While law enforcement has not publicly confirmed that the Bryan Schini named in the stabbing case is the same person as Bryan Douglas Schini in the trespass case, several details align: Identical name Same county and jurisdiction Close timeline between the misdemeanor charge and the stabbing Behavioral escalation consistent with prior charges The Sheriff's Office has previously confirmed Schini’s identity in connection with the stabbing via their official press release, and local media outlets such as the City-County Observer have documented his criminal history, including charges for stalking and battery. Community Alert Residents are urged to remain vigilant and report any sightings of Schini to local authorities. The investigation remains active, and further updates are expected as the case develops.
Evansville Man Arrested After Allegedly Striking Child with Minivan and Fleeing Scene
Posted October 20, 2025, 6:37 pm
Police in Evansville have identified 49-year-old Michael Pease as the suspect in a hit-and-run incident that left a child seriously injured on Sunday afternoon near Joan Avenue and Joan Place. According to the affidavit, officers responded to the scene shortly after 5 p.m. following reports that a child had been struck by a vehicle. Witnesses and security footage revealed a white minivan speeding away, leaving the child motionless in the street. Less than an hour later, authorities located the van in the parking lot of a motel on Fares Avenue. Pease was found behind the wheel but denied driving the vehicle recently, suggesting someone else may have taken it while he was at the motel. However, surveillance footage contradicted his claim, showing Pease arriving at the motel just minutes after the incident, accompanied by another man. Pease was seen quickly exiting the van and entering room 129. Inside the room, police discovered a glass pipe with burnt residue and a baggie containing four prescription narcotic pills. The passenger later told investigators he had asked Pease for a ride and that Pease had been smoking methamphetamine. He confirmed Pease struck the child and refused to stop. Pease was arrested and booked into the Vanderburgh County Jail Sunday night. He faces multiple charges including: Leaving the scene of a crash causing serious bodily injury Possession of a narcotic drug Possession of methamphetamine Operating while intoxicated causing serious bodily injury Criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon Possession of paraphernalia Driving while intoxicated Driving with a suspended license Pease also had an outstanding warrant for failing to appear in court. He is currently being held without bond.

Customer Engagement at Dollar General: A Snapshot from the Field
Posted October 20, 2025, 12:35 am
Evansville, IN — October 2025 As Dollar General navigates a mix of expansion and legal challenges, customer engagement remains a defining factor in its local footprint. Recent reports from Missouri and other states have highlighted pricing discrepancies between shelf tags and register totals, prompting investigations and calls for restitution. Locally, shoppers in Vanderburgh County have expressed mixed experiences. Some praise the convenience and seasonal deals, while others cite inconsistent pricing and limited staffing during peak hours. A store associate in Evansville, speaking anonymously, noted: “We’re trying to keep up with remodels and new inventory, but it’s tough when we’re short-staffed. Most of us want to do right by the customer.” Dollar General’s corporate response has emphasized its commitment to improving store layouts, expanding product offerings, and training staff to handle pricing concerns promptly. The company recently launched seasonal promotions aimed at boosting foot traffic and rebuilding trust. As the chain continues to grow, local engagement—whether through accurate pricing, respectful service, or community responsiveness—may be the key to sustaining its presence in neighborhoods like the Northside of Evansville
It started as a quiet meetup on a neighborhood street—just a woman and her brother waiting in a grey Mercedes SUV near Bedford and Taylor Avenues. They were expecting someone. What they got instead was chaos. Out of a white pickup truck stepped a Black male and female. The woman from the truck marched straight toward the SUV, accusing the occupant of stealing her weed. Before anyone could respond, she climbed into the back seat and began rifling through the vehicle, searching for the alleged stash. The SUV’s owner tried to intervene, but the confrontation escalated. The intruder grabbed the woman’s phone and slammed it to the ground, shattering it. Then came a punch to the face—swift and brutal. The attacker snatched a purse, two drawstring bags, and a duffle bag containing $200 in cash, a Chime debit card, and various personal items. The victim was left with a visible injury to her left eye, documented by officers using a BodyWorn camera system. She estimated the damage to her phone at $1000. Police responded to the battery report on Richardt Avenue, took statements, and issued a case number. As of the report, no arrests had been made. Nobody knows where the weed is at, at least that is what we are being told. Can we see the bodycam?
Location: Lloyd Expressway near Stockwell Road, Evansville, IN Time: Approximately 3:26 PM A disturbing act of vehicular aggression unfolded on the afternoon of October 17, when a black Scion was reported intentionally ramming a silver Ford SUV near Stockwell Road and the Lloyd Expressway. The initial caller described the Scion as repeatedly striking the SUV, with visible damage and body parts hanging loose—an unmistakable sign of sustained impact. Just one minute later, the victim herself called dispatch. Her voice carried urgency and fear as she identified the driver of the Scion as a known male subject—someone against whom she holds an active protection order. According to her account, the suspect was actively ramming her vehicle on the expressway, forcing her to exit at Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard while he continued westbound. This was not a random traffic altercation. It was a targeted act of violence that weaponized a vehicle to intimidate and endanger. And like too many similar cases, it didn’t end when the engine cooled. The psychological aftermath—fear of being followed, disrupted routines, and the exhausting burden of staying safe—continues long after the incident itself. 🚧 This investigation must not stall. The suspect’s identity is known. The protection order was active. The behavior was deliberate. The right party needs to be held accountable—not just for the physical damage, but for the ongoing emotional toll inflicted on the victim. Let this be the case that doesn’t get buried in paperwork. Let it be the one that sends a clear message: protection orders are not suggestions, and violent intimidation behind the wheel is a crime that demands consequences.
Feed Evansville: A Story That Deserves More Than Coverage
Posted October 19, 2025, 8:14 am
As someone who reports on civic life and community resilience, I often come across programs doing quiet, powerful work. Feed Evansville is one of those efforts—and after reading about their mission, I knew it was time to dig deeper. Feed Evansville operates mobile food distributions across Vanderburgh County, reaching families who might otherwise fall through the cracks. Their approach is simple but profound: no paperwork, no barriers, just food and dignity. Volunteers load groceries into cars, offer smiles and encouragement, and help restore a sense of stability to those facing food insecurity. I’ve read their story, seen the impact in numbers and testimonials, and felt the urgency behind their work. That’s why I’ve reached out to Feed Evansville—not just to interview their team, but to volunteer alongside them. Because some stories deserve more than coverage. They deserve commitment. In the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing more about their operations, their partnerships, and the people they serve. I want to understand how this model works, what challenges they face, and how others can support or replicate their success.

Driveway Departure: A Night of Violations and Velocity
Posted October 19, 2025, 1:17 am
It began with a call—one of two placed that day by a woman protected under a no-contact order. Earlier, she reported her vehicle being rammed on the Lloyd Expressway. Hours later, she alerted dispatch again: the same offender was parked in her driveway, seated behind the wheel of a black Toyota Scion (IN DUA402). An officer responded swiftly to the residence. The Scion was still there. Emergency lights lit up the scene, and a spotlight cut through the darkness to reveal the lone occupant: the offender, seated in the driver’s seat. Before the officer could exit the patrol car, the Scion lurched forward, tearing through the yard and into the night. The vehicle sped south on Stevens Avenue, then west on Cass, blowing past stop signs at Boeke and Weinbach. The officer initiated pursuit but was forced to terminate due to speed, distance, and traffic conditions. The Scion vanished northbound on Weinbach. Moments later, Crime Scene Detective Breivogel, positioned westbound on Covert at US 41, witnessed the Scion run a red light and continue north on Kentucky Avenue before disappearing from view. While initial dispatch chatter may have suggested the offender was a wanted felon, that detail was later clarified as inaccurate. What remains undisputed is the danger posed by the offender’s actions—and the urgency with which law enforcement responded.

Title: When the Algorithm Wears a Badge: Navigating Nextdoor’s Moderation Maze
Posted October 18, 2025, 9:09 am
If you’ve ever posted on Nextdoor and watched your words vanish into the moderation void, you’re not alone. In fact, you might be part of a growing club of civic-minded neighbors who’ve discovered that getting flagged doesn’t always mean you did something wrong—it might just mean you struck a nerve. Nextdoor bills itself as a platform for “trusted connections and the exchange of helpful information.” But for many users, especially those who report local news, advocate for transparency, or simply speak with personality, the platform’s automated filters and community reporting tools can feel more like a digital HOA than a town square. Take Daniel Gustafson, for example—a local DJ, civic advocate, and community storyteller whose posts often blend humor, public safety updates, and real-time reporting. His statements, crafted with care and clarity, frequently get flagged. Not for misinformation. Not for harassment. But for tone, engagement, or simply being too effective. “I’ve had posts removed that were factually accurate, timely, and respectful,” Daniel says. “But they got reactions—comments, shares, even praise. And somehow, that triggered the system.” The irony? Posts that spark conversation are often the ones that help communities stay informed. Whether it’s a heads-up about suspicious activity, a breakdown of city council decisions, or a witty take on pothole politics, engagement isn’t the enemy. It’s the heartbeat of a healthy neighborhood. Nextdoor’s moderation system relies heavily on user reports and automated filters. While this helps curb spam and abuse, it also means that unpopular truths or passionate advocacy can be silenced—not because they violate guidelines, but because they challenge comfort zones. Respectfully, that’s a problem. Community platforms should encourage thoughtful dialogue, not penalize it. And while civility matters, so does courage. Posts that get flagged aren’t necessarily bad. Sometimes, they’re just bold. So here’s to the posters who keep it real. The ones who speak up, get flagged, and keep posting anyway. Because neighborhoods need more than polite silence—they need voices that care.

Power, Paychecks, and Public Trust: The Missy Mosby Maneuver
Posted October 18, 2025, 2:58 am
By Daniel Gustafson | All Around Evansville News In a city where transparency is currency and public service should be its own reward, Evansville residents are raising eyebrows over a recent political maneuver that blurred the lines between governance and self-interest. Former City Council member Missy Mosby, long known for her advocacy on behalf of Evansville Animal Care & Control, recently attempted a high-profile transition—from legislator to department head. But before stepping down, Mosby voted to increase funding for the very department she was poised to lead, and allegedly supported a pay raise for the position she intended to occupy. The move, which some residents are calling a “preloaded promotion,” was ultimately blocked. Mosby was not selected for the role, despite her years of vocal support for the shelter and its staff. But the sequence of events has ignited debate about conflict of interest, ethical boundaries, and the need for clearer safeguards in local government. 🧩 The Timeline Council vote: Mosby participates in budget decisions that increase Animal Care & Control funding. Pay bump: The department head salary is reportedly adjusted upward during the same cycle. Application submitted: Mosby applies for the newly separated leadership role. Outcome: She is not chosen, but the optics remain troubling. 🔍 Why It Matters This isn’t just about one council member or one department. It’s about: Public perception: When elected officials vote on matters that directly benefit their future employment, trust erodes. Policy safeguards: Should council members be required to recuse themselves from votes tied to positions they may seek? Precedent: If left unchallenged, this could normalize self-serving governance under the guise of advocacy. 🗣️ Community Voices Local watchdogs and civic advocates are calling for: Stronger ethics rules around post-council employment. Transparent hiring processes for city departments. Public disclosure when council members apply for city jobs. 🧭 What Comes Next As Evansville continues to evolve its governance structures, residents deserve clarity, fairness, and accountability. Whether Mosby’s actions were technically permissible or not, they underscore a deeper need: a firewall between public service and personal gain.
She was given the position! Btw, great reporting, loving that you're telling us more than we get on any other platform! Bravo good sir!

Power to the People: Speaking Up Against CenterPoint
Posted October 17, 2025, 5:39 pm
Daniel Gustafson didn’t set out to be a utility watchdog. But when the lights flickered and the service faltered, he realized silence wasn’t an option. CenterPoint Energy, a major utility provider across Indiana, Texas, and beyond, has faced growing criticism for delayed responses, billing issues, and inconsistent customer support. And while some customers vent online, Daniel believes in action. This story isn’t just about frustration—it’s about mobilization. When CenterPoint fails to deliver, customers have more than complaints. They have tools. Step one: Document everything. Whether it’s a missed appointment, a surprise shutoff, or a billing error, keep records. Screenshots, timestamps, and call logs matter. They turn emotion into evidence. Step two: File a formal complaint. CenterPoint offers a Contact Us portal, but don’t stop there. You can also file with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) or your state’s public utility commission. These agencies track patterns and can investigate systemic issues. Step three: Share your story publicly. Sites like Trustpilot and ComplaintsBoard let you publish reviews that others can see. Your voice adds weight to the collective experience—and can prompt media attention or policy change. Step four: Contact your elected officials. Utility oversight often intersects with local and state government. A well-documented letter to your city council or state representative can spark hearings or pressure regulators. Step five: Build community. Daniel’s platform doesn’t just report—it connects. By sharing stories from Evansville and beyond, he’s helping neighbors realize they’re not alone. Together, they’re building a record of accountability. CenterPoint may control the grid, but customers control the narrative. And when that narrative is clear, documented, and shared—it becomes power
