State police will conduct checkpoint
DELPHI — Indiana State Police will conduct an enforcement checkpoint today targeting impaired drivers in Carroll County.
Drivers who encounter a checkpoint will be delayed for a few minutes and required to produce a valid license and registration. If all information is correct and there is no other reason to be detained, they will be released.
After the checkpoint, troopers will conduct roving saturation patrols, aggressively seeking impaired drivers throughout the district.
McClain pleads not guilty in domestic
At an initial hearing, 38-year-old Jeffery W. McClain pleaded not guilty to accusations of domestic violence.
McClain appeared before Cass Superior I Judge Thomas Perrone Thursday morning to hear the formal charge filed against him. He faces a single count of class D felony domestic battery while in the presence of a child under 16.
McClain turned himself into authorities on Saturday following an Indiana State Police investigation that revealed McClain allegedly battered his wife in their Logansport home on the night of Jan. 24. He bonded out the same day.
Special prosecutor Ron Byal has been appointed to the case. McClain hired attorney Kelly Leeman, who successfully defended McClain last year when he shot his neighbor in the foot following a scuffle. Byal was special prosecutor in that case, as well.
Judge Perrone set court dates. McClain’s next appearance is March 26. A trial is scheduled for May 19.
The order preventing McClain to contact his wife remains in place.
Student held on battery charges
DENVER — A 17 year-old male North Miami High School student is in custody after reportedly using a sharpened tooth brush as a weapon at school.
The Miami County Sheriff’s department was called to the school at 11 a.m. Thursday following a report of a student with a shank.
On Tuesday, a student was reportedly attacked with the weapon by the suspect which resulted in a gash to the arm.
The juvenile was arrested by deputies on charges of battery with a deadly weapon, a class C felony, and possession of a deadly weapon on school property, a class D felony. The suspect was transported to the Miami County Probation Department.
In a detention hearing in the Miami Superior Court II, the juvenile was ordered to be detained at the Kinsey Youth Center in Kokomo.
