The Marion County Sheriff and Prosecutor’s Offices are investigating an incident involving a City-County Council member and a Sheriff’s Deputy. The incident involving At-Large Council Member Ron Gibson reportedly occurred July 15 at two in the morning during the second weekend of Indiana Black Expo.

A few things to over the weekend to note. The same people who grilled Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi this past week over his plan to fight jail overcrowding have all found Jesus and come out in support of more jail beds. With friends like these, Melina Kennedy, the Democratic Candidate doesn’t need enemies. Speaking […]

Giving Kennedy Credit Although Melina Kennedy and I have had some differences, I have to give credit where it is due. She deserves a round of applause for calling for an end to the partisan bickering over jail overcrowding. Sources tell me her campaign is extremely annoyed with the Democrats on the City-County Council for […]

Is the City-Council President partially to blame for a child molester going free from jail? It seems like an unpleasant question to ask, but I have to. You may have seen the story, but the authorities are looking for convicted child molester William Temple. Temple is accused of molesting two young girls. But what makes […]

Marion County Sheriff Frank Anderson says he will not take the $50,000 raise. In a statement released today the Sheriff said he was never in the job for the money and he would assist the General Assembly in any changes that may be necessary to the law that created the situation in the first place.
