Podcast appearances and mentions of jefferson county sheriff

Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First. Follow us on popular podcast services to never miss an episode.A look at the latest happenings in NuLu, a little pickleball, a little golf and even a small restaurant recap.All of the above are topics in a loaded edition of the Access Louisville podcast. LBF Reporter Michael L. Jones is on the show to discuss how Gravely Brewing Co. shook the local brewery scene by announcing that it would be moving its taproom from Phoenix Hill to 905 E. Main St. in NuLu. Gravely Brewing opened at 514 Baxter Ave., near Hull Street, in 2017. The taproom has been a community staple ever since. Yours truly will also talk about my initial observations after I visited Fifth Third Bank's new office in NuLu for a sneak peek. The 10,000-square foot space is on the fourth floor of the NuLu Yard development, a $115 million project being overseen by Weyland Ventures.Zak Owens, our digital editor, is also on hand to discuss how the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office has signed a lease to move into 47,000 square feet of space at 515 W. Market St., a building owned by the University of Louisville Foundation, as reported by Senior Reporter Joel Stinnett.Owens will also talk about how Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg recently pulled the plug on a $65 million project for a large pickleball facility in Joe Creason Park in response to an outpouring of public outcry.Staying on the sports theme, I will talk about PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan visiting town earlier this month for the Kentucky Derby. He and another member of the PGA Tour leadership team were Derby guests of Jimmy Kirchdorfer, the CEO/chairman of ISCO Industries who is also a co-owner of Valhalla Golf Club. I spoke with Monahan and Kircdorfer before they teed off for a round at Valhalla. The main topic of conversation was how the PGA Tour is fully committed to having the ISCO Championship in Kentucky, which will take place in July. It will be at Hurstbourne Country Club for the next three years, with options to move the tournament to other courses in Kentucky. Monahan also said that he thought it was “when not if” Louisville will be able to host another major golf tournament after last year's PGA Championship took place at Valhalla. Keep in mind that the ultimate decision is made by the PGA of America, not the PGA Tour.I will also talk about how the ISCO Championship has already sold out of its 18th green hospitality suites with the event still two months away.And finally, we will top the podcast off with Jones talking about two of his recent headlines. The first is the future opening of Gaucho Urban Brazilian Steakhouse at 2013 S. Hurstbourne Parkway. Jones will also share the latest on Tavern To-Go, located at 111 E. Hill St.

Allison Browner, a private investigator and paralegal volunteering her time and joining forces with JeffCo Kids First, joins Dan with the scoop on a timeline established by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office on the Columbine High School grooming scandal involving former social studies teacher Leann Kearney.

In 1995, Jefferson County Sheriff's Deputy William Hardy was shot behind a Birmingham hotel. At that moment, over ten witnesses placed Toforest Johnson at a nightclub across town. Despite this, Toforest has spent more than 26 years on death row for a crime he swears he didn't commit. Today, many—including one of the jurors who originally convicted him— think the courts got it wrong. But how? With the support of investigative reporter Beth Shelburne, we explore the horrifying twists behind Toforest's controversial conviction. A full list of action items, sources, resources mentioned, and photos related to the case are available in the show notes of today's episode, https://truercrimepodcast.com/Toforest-Johnson To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Joining Everyday Injustice Podcast this week is Beth Shelburne, a journalist and writer with more than 25 years of experience. In 2023, a podcast series she created, reported and wrote called “Earwitness,” the story of Tofest Johnson. As described: Toforest Johnson is a father, a son, a brother. He was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama. He has been on Alabama's death row since 1998 for a crime he had nothing to do with. He was convicted and sentenced to death for the 1995 murder of Jefferson County Sheriff's Deputy William G. Hardy. According to more than 10 witnesses, Toforest was across town at the exact time Deputy Hardy was killed. There is no physical evidence linking him to the crime in any way. Prosecutors presented no eyewitnesses. And he has maintained his innocence since the day he was arrested. Prosecutors could not make up their mind about who committed the crime. At five different court hearings, they presented five different stories about what they claimed happened. The State's case against Toforest hinged on the testimony of one witness: a woman who did not know him and had never met him claimed to hear Toforest confess to the murder in an eavesdropped phone call. She was paid $5000 for her testimony, a fact that was not finally revealed to Toforest's attorneys until almost two decades later, when prosecutors revealed paperwork they said had been “misfiled.” Listen as Beth Shelburne describes in detail the incredible story of Toforest Johnson, convicted on “earwitness” testimony.

June 25, 1983. Jefferson County, Montana. While attending a picnic with her family in Helena National Forest, four-year old Nyleen Kay Marshall goes off to play with some other children until she vanishes without a trace. An extensive search of the forest fails to find her, but other kids report having seen an unidentified man in a jogging suit speaking to Nyleen shortly before she went missing. Over two years later, the authorities receive a series of anonymous letters and phone calls from a man who claims to be raising Nyleen, but he is never identified and Nyleen cannot be found. Was Nyleen Kay Marshall actually the victim of a stranger abduction and, if so, who was responsible? On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore a disturbing unsolved missing children's case which has featured a number of surprising twists and turns these past four decades.

Tonight's show took an unexpected turn when Jefferson County Republicans canceled (postponed?) their Governor Kristi Noem fundraiser due to death threats.  Apparently, according to sources, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department offered NOTHING to help secure the event.  Non-stop callers all night weighed in on Governor Noem's dog-shooting, Randy offered to help make the JeffCo comeback event a national event, and he reminds us that we can NOT give in to these dangerous radical Leftists.  Ever.  Western Civilization literally hangs in the balance.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

First Responder Spotlight - Jefferson County Sheriff's Dept. - Sheriff Dave Marshak

Today, I'm joined by Laurah Norton to discuss the case of Susan Lund and the nearly 30-year journey to identify her. Laurah worked for years to help identify Susan with an incredible team of experts, but her case is still in need of justice. According to Paul Lund, On Christmas Eve, 1992, his 25-year-old wife, Susan Lund, went missing on a walk to the grocery store to buy ingredients for their family's holiday dinner. He reported her missing not long after. About a month later, near the end of January 1993, Susan's partial remains were found near Ina, Illinois, in Wayne Fitzgerrell State Park. Unfortunately, Susan remained unidentified for decades and was only known as Ina Jane Doe. In a strange twist of fate, not long after she went missing, Susan's case was closed after a mysterious woman came forward and identified herself as Susan. Susan's children spent decades believing she may have intentionally left them and never chose to reach out again. But in early 2021, Dr. Amy Michael, assistant professor of anthropology at The University of New Hampshire, along with writer, researcher, and host Laurah Norton, were approved by Jefferson County Sheriff's Office to reexamine the case. Through their journey, they worked with a variety of experts to correct misconceptions about Ina Jane Doe. When the genealogists at Redgrave Research joined the efforts, they finally identified her as Susan Lund in 2022. Laurah Norton recently chronicled this incredible journey along with the science behind it in her upcoming book, Lay Them to Rest. So, I invited her on the show to discuss her book, Susan's case, the inner workings behind doing this type of work, and, of course, how you can help. If you have any information about Susan Lund, please call The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office Tip Line at 618-242-TIPS.

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 5th study session on Sue Klebold's A Mothers' Reckoning. Published nearly 20 years after the notorious 1999 Columbine High School massacre, where 13 people were killed, Mrs. Klebold is the White mother of Dylan Klebold - one of the cowardly White killers. After spending years in silence, Klebold stepped center stage to share her anguish over losing her child and her perspective on her Dylan's attempt to slaughter hundreds of his classmates while disintegrating the high school. Colorado Public Radio reports the book has generated over $400,000 for numerous mental health groups. They have no evidence of payments to Mrs. Klebold. Last week Sue continued her "pity party" and White Victimhood by invoking metaphors suggesting she was a slave. In one example, she says being renown as the mother of the Columbine killer was "like a cattle brand." Ms. Klebold confesses that she relied on "black [negro] humor" to survive the early days of grief. She repeatedly insists that she was threatened, hated, and the target of bullying and alienation after the failed bombing, but there is no evidence to support this. To the contrary, she herself and numerous other sources detail relatively widespread support and sympathy for the Klebolds. "Dyl's" mom loses some of the facade when she details the police report near the end of 1999, where Jefferson County Sheriff's Office gives a macabre account of Rebel and VoDKa's long, methodical plan to eviscerate the school. Ol' Sue had been lying to (and us) about her offspring's role as a mass-school shooter and wannabee bomber. Suspected Racist Sue Klebold's view of sweet, innocent, blond Dylan was shattered even before viewing the "basement tapes." #MasterDeceiver #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#

In a shocking turn of events, David Glen Swift, 55, awaiting trial in Tennessee for the murder of his first wife, now finds himself behind bars in Alabama for stalking his second wife. Deputies made the arrest with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office after they discovered Swift's relentless pursuit of his ex-wife. The charge against Swift is one count of stalking in the first degree, and law enforcement officials in Jefferson County claim he had been persistently tailing his ex-wife in various locations, including parking outside her home during late-night and early-morning hours. Detectives gathered location information and evidence of the stalking, and the victim was unaware of the extent of the surveillance she had been under.   According to court records, Swift's second wife had recently finalized her long-sought divorce from him, a process that began in June 2022 and concluded in March. Swift's alleged stalking came to light shortly after his divorce was finalized. The case takes a darker turn when considering the pending murder trial of David Swift in Tennessee. In August 2022, Swift was arrested while leaving his divorce attorney's office on charges related to the disappearance and murder of his first wife, Karen Swift. The 44-year-old mother of four vanished in October 2011 after leaving a Halloween party, and her body was found nearly six weeks later in a cemetery near their home. The cause of death was determined to be blunt force trauma to the head, with signs of assault and multiple fractures. Investigators took nearly 11 years to take over the murder case, and David Swift was subsequently charged with murder. He posted a $200,000 bond after extradition and returned to Bessemer, Alabama, while awaiting his murder trial in Tennessee, scheduled for January 2024. With the stalking allegations against him, the District Attorney's Office has petitioned to revoke Swift's pretrial bond. A hearing on this matter is set for August 11.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Friday, April 28th, 2023. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/04/27/argentina-shuns-u-s-dollar-will-pay-for-china-imports-in-yuan/ Argentina Shuns U.S. Dollar: Will Pay for China Imports in Yuan Argentina struck a deal with Beijing on Wednesday to stop using U.S. dollars to pay for Chinese imports and embrace the yuan instead. The measure, driven by Argentina’s leftist President Alberto Fernández, is designed to relieve the South American country’s dwindling dollar reserves, AP reports. The deal further enhances China’s rise on the world stage and the diminished role of the U.S. on a host of fronts under President Joe Biden. After reaching the agreement with various companies, Argentina will use the yuan for imports from China worth about U.S.$1.04 billion from next month, accelerating trade with China as Beijing seeks to gain a further foothold in South America. In November last year Argentina expanded a currency swap with China by $5 billion in an effort to increase its yuan reserves. That agreement allowed Argentina “to work on the possibility” of advancing the rate of imports with yuan-denominated import orders being authorized in 90 days rather than the standard 180 days. The decision comes as Argentina battles critical levels in its dollar reserves amid a sharp drop in agricultural exports caused by a historic drought, as well as political uncertainty ahead of elections this year. It has also been working hard to build a relationship with Beijing after having officially joined China’s infrastructure-building Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) last year. Argentina’s government finalized a deal with Beijing soon after to construct a nuclear plant based on Chinese technology near Buenos Aires, Argentina’s national capital, in the near future.

Tangaraju Suppiah, 46, was sentenced to death in 2018 for abetting the trafficking of 2.2 pounds of cannabis. Under Singapore laws, trafficking more than 500 grams of cannabis may result in the death penalty. Tangaraju was hanged Wednesday morning and his family was given the death certificate, according to a tweet from activist Kirsten Han of the Transformative Justice Collective, which advocates for abolishing the death penalty in Singapore. Although Tangaraju was not caught with the cannabis, prosecutors said phone numbers traced him as the person responsible for coordinating the delivery of the drugs. Tangaraju had maintained that he was not the one communicating with the others connected to the case. At a United Nations Human Rights briefing Tuesday, a spokesperson called on the Singapore government to adopt a "formal moratorium" on executions for drug-related offenses. "Imposing the death penalty for drug offences is incompatible with international norms and standards," said the spokesperson, who added that increasing evidence shows the death penalty is ineffective as a deterrent. Singapore authorities say there is a deterrent effect, citing studies that traffickers carry amounts below the threshold that would bring a death penalty. The island-state's imposition of the death penalty for drugs is in contrast with its neighbors. In Thailand, cannabis has essentially been legalized, and Malaysia has ended the mandatory death penalty for serious crimes. Singapore executed 11 people last year for drug offenses. One case that spurred international concern involved a Malaysian man whose lawyers said he was mentally disabled. https://dailycaller.com/2023/04/26/red-state-bill-religious-institutions-state-funding/ Red State Passes Bill Allowing Religious Institutions Access To State Funding The Oklahoma House of Representatives passed a bill Tuesday protecting religious institutions from being denied access to state funding. The Oklahoma Religious Freedom Act was introduced by Republican state Sen. Shane Jett and Republican state Sen. Julie Daniels to further reinforce the First Amendment by preventing the state from denying faith-based groups access to taxpayer dollars, according to the bill. The legislature passed the act Tuesday by a 64 to 27 vote, officially sending the act to Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt’s desk to be signed into law. The bill makes way for religious institutions to access state funding by barring the state from denying applications for funding “based solely on the religious character or affiliation of the person or entity.” The act adds to religious protections the state passed in 2021 preventing the government from declaring church activities non-essential, as was often the case during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, some Democrats argued that the bill was an unnecessary addition to the First Amendment, according to KFOR.com, a local media outlet. One Democratic state representative warned that the bill could lead to government funding of religious activities at religious schools. Republican state Rep. John Echols, who co-authored the bill, disagreed with his colleague’s assessment, according to KFOR.com. Oklahoma has been at the center of this discussion for some time. Earlier this month, Gov. Stitt and state Attorney General Gentner Drummond clashed over a Catholic charter school application that would have created the first state-funded religious charter school in the nation. The application was temporarily denied by the state’s virtual charter board but will be voted on again in the coming weeks. Stitt told the Daily Caller News Foundation that he was disappointed by the the attorney general’s response to the charter and continued to hope that Oklahoma would host the nation’s first state-funded religious charter school, providing more options for parents. Stitt, Jett, Daniels and Echols did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment. https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-ex-producer-suing-tucker-carlson-has-never-even-met-him?utm_campaign=64487 Ex-producer suing Tucker Carlson has never even met him Tucker Carlson Tonight producer Abby Grossberg is suing Carlson and the Fox Network over sexual behavior in the workplace, despite never having met Carlson in person. The Spectator reports that lawyers for Grossberg have confirmed that she never actually met Carlson. "Like many on the [Tucker Carlson Tonight] staff, Abby never met Tucker Carlson in person because he taped the show from his personal studios in Maine and Florida, and he did not visit Fox's NY HQ during her time there," said one of Grossberg's attorneys Kimberly A. Catala. Grossberg was the head of booking from July 2022 until she was recently placed on leave in March. She "alleges that Carlson encouraged a hostile and sexist workplace environment among his employees. Grossberg says she was subjected to bullying, antisemitic comments and sexism by staff while working out of Fox’s Manhattan office," Spectator reports. Despite never having met Carlson, Grossberg told rival network MSNBC that "Tucker and his executive producer Justin Wells, who was also fired, really were responsible for breaking me and making my life a living hell." "Since Tucker did not come to the Fox office, he relied on Justin Wells, his executive producer, and others like Alexander McCaskill, senior producer, who were present in the office every day to be his eyes, ears and mouthpiece, and to convey his ‘tone,’ as they threateningly reminded Ms. Grossberg," Catala said. The allegation per Grossberg's attorneys is that Carlson directed the "sexist" environment from afar. Apparently, the attorneys posited that Carlson had staff work as his "eyes" and "ears" in the New York office while he worked away in Maine. Carlson and Fox parted ways on Monday morning, though promos for the evening's show were already airing as the press release from Fox went out. It is unclear as to why Fox dismissed the insanely popular news anchor, though speculation abounds, including that Fox owner Rupert Murdoch took issue with Carlson's Christian beliefs. Carlson has been seen in Florida enjoying time with his wife, and laughing about finally being able to dine together on weeknights. His show has been on the air for 7 years, and in that time he amassed a loyal following. In the hours following his departure from the network, "RIP Fox News" was trending on Twitter as many viewers found they had no reason to tune in once Carlson was no longer on the air. The end of the Tucker Carlson Tonight era was celebrated by AOC, who had called for federal regulation of Fox and Carlson, which routinely took aim at her and her shenanigans. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/26/us/colorado-rock-throwing-arrests.html 3 Teens Charged With Murder in Rock-Throwing Spree That Killed Colorado Driver Three teenagers have been charged with first-degree murder in connection with a rock-throwing spree on Colorado roads last week that led to the death of one driver, the authorities said. The three suspects, all 18 and identified as Joseph Koenig, Nicholas Karol-Chik and Zachary Kwak, were arrested on Tuesday evening at their homes in Arvada, Colo., for taking part in a series of rock-throwing episodes on April 19 that fatally wounded Alexa Bartell, 20, who was killed when one of the rocks smashed through her windshield and struck her, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office announced on Wednesday. In addition to murder, the three men are charged with extreme indifference; other charges to be determined by the First Judicial District Attorney’s Office are expected. It was not immediately clear if the three, who are seniors from different high schools, had lawyers on Wednesday. The rock-throwing spree began shortly after 10 p.m. on April 19 in Westminster, Colo., which is a city of about 114,000 residents north of Denver, the authorities said. During that hour, the authorities said, the three drove a pickup truck around the county and threw large landscaping rocks at six vehicles, including a minivan and an S.U.V., hitting their windshields and driver’s side windows. Those drivers had minor or no injuries. Around 10:45 p.m., Ms. Bartell was driving north on Indiana Street when her Chevrolet Spark, a subcompact, became the last vehicle struck during the spree, the authorities said. Moments before she was killed, Ms. Bartell was on her phone talking to a friend “when the phone went silent,” according to the sheriff’s office. Her friend tracked her phone and drove to the location on Indiana Street where she found Ms. Bartell “fatally wounded inside her car, which was off the roadway in a field.” It was unclear which of the men were driving but “all three are suspected of throwing rocks,” the sheriff’s office said. They were believed to be in a black 2016 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck. “Ultimately, mobile device forensics and supporting information from the public helped lead to the identification and arrest of the suspects,” according to the sheriff’s office, which did not release additional details. The men, who were booked into the jail at the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, are scheduled to appear in court on Thursday.

Multiple Suspects Arrested in Rock Spree Homicide Part 1 Alexa Bartell: Overnight Tuesday, April 25 – Wednesday, April 26, Jefferson County Sheriff's Investigators arrested three suspects in connection with the death of 20-year-old Alexa Bartell. Alexa was killed when a rock was thrown through her windshield as she was driving northbound in the 10600 block of Indiana Street at approximately 10:45 p.m. on Wednesday, April 19. Alexa's vehicle was the last of a series of vehicles struck by large landscaping rocks in a spree that began shortly after 10:00 p.m. that night at 100th and Simms in Westminster. Since then, JCSO investigators - with assistance from Westminster Police, Arvada Police, and the Boulder County Sheriff's Office - worked around the clock to identify and arrest the suspects responsible for Alexa's death. Joseph Koenig (DOB 9/11/04), Nicholas “Mitch” Karol-Chik (DOB 10/17/04), and Zachary Kwak (DOB 3/18/05), all 18, were taken into custody at their homes in Arvada. - Jefferson County Sheriff Part 2 Joe Michael Ervin: Last winter, police in Denver, Colorado, announced that they had solved the cold-case murders of four women who had died about 40 years ago, all of whom had been the victims of one man—a previously unknown serial killer named Joe Michael Ervin. The story was chillingly real but sounded like a crime novel. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Ervin took the lives of four women who appeared to have nothing in common. -BJA SOURCES: https://youtu.be/zs4ByiCguao https://lawandcrime.com/crime/man-who-fatally-shot-colorado-police-officer-in-1981-traffic-stop-was-actually-a-serial-killer-cops/ https://allthatsinteresting.com/joe-michael-ervin https://bja.ojp.gov/news/blog/finding-serial-killer-and-justice-after-40-years#:~:text=Last%20winter%2C%20police%20in%20Denver,sounded%20like%20a%20crime%20novel. https://www.jeffco.us/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=2056 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12016457/Three-men-arrested-murder-female-motorist-killed-huge-ROCK-smashed-windscreen.html https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-daily-sentinel/123573352/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEWt2DuRqO0 https://www.newspapers.com/image/810119063/?terms=Madeleine%20Furey-Livaudais&match=1 Learn more about your ad choices.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Friday, April 28th, 2023. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/04/27/argentina-shuns-u-s-dollar-will-pay-for-china-imports-in-yuan/ Argentina Shuns U.S. Dollar: Will Pay for China Imports in Yuan Argentina struck a deal with Beijing on Wednesday to stop using U.S. dollars to pay for Chinese imports and embrace the yuan instead. The measure, driven by Argentina’s leftist President Alberto Fernández, is designed to relieve the South American country’s dwindling dollar reserves, AP reports. The deal further enhances China’s rise on the world stage and the diminished role of the U.S. on a host of fronts under President Joe Biden. After reaching the agreement with various companies, Argentina will use the yuan for imports from China worth about U.S.$1.04 billion from next month, accelerating trade with China as Beijing seeks to gain a further foothold in South America. In November last year Argentina expanded a currency swap with China by $5 billion in an effort to increase its yuan reserves. That agreement allowed Argentina “to work on the possibility” of advancing the rate of imports with yuan-denominated import orders being authorized in 90 days rather than the standard 180 days. The decision comes as Argentina battles critical levels in its dollar reserves amid a sharp drop in agricultural exports caused by a historic drought, as well as political uncertainty ahead of elections this year. It has also been working hard to build a relationship with Beijing after having officially joined China’s infrastructure-building Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) last year. Argentina’s government finalized a deal with Beijing soon after to construct a nuclear plant based on Chinese technology near Buenos Aires, Argentina’s national capital, in the near future. The Chinese Communist Party will reportedly provide $8 billion in financing toward the project’s $12 billion total budget. As Breitbart News reported, Argentina currently owes the International Monetary Fund (IMF) $44 billion. The international organization is in talks with Argentine authorities to finalize a fourth review of its program that includes a flexibilization of the proposed foreign exchange reserve accumulation as Argentina, whose foreign reserves are now at a $5 billion deficit, cannot comply with the current goals. https://www.foxnews.com/world/singapore-executes-man-conspired-traffic-2-pounds-cannabis Singapore executes man who allegedly conspired to traffic 2 pounds of cannabis Singapore on Wednesday executed a man accused of coordinating a cannabis delivery, despite pleas for clemency from his family and protests from activists that he was convicted on weak evidence.

The three suspects, all 18 and identified as Joseph Koenig, Nicholas Karol-Chik and Zachary Kwak, were arrested on Tuesday evening at their homes in Arvada, Colo., for taking part in a series of rock-throwing episodes on April 19 that fatally wounded Alexa Bartell, 20, who was killed when one of the rocks smashed through her windshield and struck her, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office announced on Wednesday. In addition to murder, the three men are charged with extreme indifference; other charges to be determined by the First Judicial District Attorney’s Office are expected. It was not immediately clear if the three, who are seniors from different high schools, had lawyers on Wednesday. The rock-throwing spree began shortly after 10 p.m. on April 19 in Westminster, Colo., which is a city of about 114,000 residents north of Denver, the authorities said. During that hour, the authorities said, the three drove a pickup truck around the county and threw large landscaping rocks at six vehicles, including a minivan and an S.U.V., hitting their windshields and driver’s side windows. Those drivers had minor or no injuries. Around 10:45 p.m., Ms. Bartell was driving north on Indiana Street when her Chevrolet Spark, a subcompact, became the last vehicle struck during the spree, the authorities said. Moments before she was killed, Ms. Bartell was on her phone talking to a friend “when the phone went silent,” according to the sheriff’s office. Her friend tracked her phone and drove to the location on Indiana Street where she found Ms. Bartell “fatally wounded inside her car, which was off the roadway in a field.” It was unclear which of the men were driving but “all three are suspected of throwing rocks,” the sheriff’s office said. They were believed to be in a black 2016 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck. “Ultimately, mobile device forensics and supporting information from the public helped lead to the identification and arrest of the suspects,” according to the sheriff’s office, which did not release additional details. The men, who were booked into the jail at the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, are scheduled to appear in court on Thursday. Before we end today… how about some good news?! https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/mom-wins-lottery-with-ticket-she-bought-celebrating-daughters-victory-over-cancer/ Mom Wins Lottery with Ticket She Bought Celebrating Daughter’s Victory Over Cancer After shelling out her life savings to pay for her daughter’s breast cancer treatment, a Florida grandmother got a nod from the universe. Buying the last available scratch-off from her preferred lottery game at the store, she landed a $2 million jackpot. Geraldine Gimblet of Lakeland was celebrating the moment that her daughter, Lawrencia Jackson, rang a bell at the local hospital signifying she had finished her breast cancer treatment. A long-time lottery player, Gimblet, 74, spent $10 on the last scratch-off card at the store, and it happened to be a winner. “I just didn’t know,” Gimblet told Good Morning America regarding her reaction,, ‘Are you sure, would you check this on your phone?’ And, I won!” Daughter Jackson, who accompanied Gimblet to the Tallahassee lottery offices to accept a lump sum of $1.6 million, described it as a “blessing.” Gimblet didn’t hesitate to finance the cancer treatment, saying she just “did what I had to do,” with Jackson adding that she would “just have to keep loving her,” as a means to try and repay the kindness. +-

Ind. (WISH) — The leader of a southern Indiana motorcycle gang was sentenced to 120 years in prison for killing a rival gang member in the summer of 2021. A Jefferson County judge on Wednesday gave Michael “Billy goat” Karnuth, of North Vernon, 60 years for the murder of Dustin “Kutter” Lindner and another 60 years on a criminal gang enhancement. Police say Karnuth, the president of the Heavy Hitters chapter of the Warlocks biker gang, teamed up with the Pagans motorcycle gang in June 2021 to confront a man they believed was posing as a member of both clubs. The confrontation escalated to a shootout and Lindner was fatally shot in the chest. Police say guns and gang paraphernalia found near the scene linked Karnuth to the shooting. Karnuth's conviction and sentencing are the direct results of the “outstanding investigation” by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office and state police, Jefferson County Prosecutor David Sutter said in a statement. “This is a significant sentence which all but ensures a dangerous man will no longer be a threat to our community,” Sutter added. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/motorcyclemadhouse/message

In an alleged kidnapping, a 73-year-old man forced a woman to wear a leash around her neck after kidnapping a couple. A hiker called 911 on June 17 at 8:10 a.m. to report seeing two other hikers being held at gunpoint near the 3600 block of South Oak Way, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office. According to reports, the witness remained on the line until deputies arrived and provided updates. Despite locating the couple, deputies learned that the suspect, Kerry Endsley, was still at large. He was reportedly confronted at gunpoint soon after they found him. Deputies say Endsley ignored their commands and pointed a stun gun at them after pulling out a gun from his waistband - later determined to be a stun gun. One deputy shot at Endsley, but failed to hit him, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office. According to reports, a second deputy struck Endsley with his Taser. Upon arrest, he was taken to a local hospital for treatment. In their statement, the couple told deputies they saw a man kneeling on the ground tying his shoe while walking along the trail. As they walked by him, he reportedly pointed his gun at them. It was alleged that Endsley "ordered the female to the ground and tethered her to a nylon leash." A male victim got Endsley's gun out of his hands and fled with his wife, according to reports. The victims are reportedly familiar with Endsley. He was not recognized by the couple because he "had altered his physical appearance and disguised himself.", according to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office. In the past, he allegedly harassed the female victim. Even a restraining order has been issued against him. The charges against Endsley include second-degree kidnapping, felony menacing, and violating a restraining order.
