The
cooperative effort of police agencies resulted
in a large quantity of cocaine being prevented
from hitting the streets and sent six people
to jail.
According to information from Deputy Abraham
Hildebrand of the Ripley County Sheriff’s
Office, the arrests were made Friday night,
March 5 after his office, along with the
Batesville Police Department executed a
search warrant at a Batesville residence.
Working with the prosecutor’s office,
police were able to secure the warrant through
the Ripley Superior Court.

In
a surprising turn of events, a Ripley County
man has been declared competent in less than
five months from the initial findings that he
was not competent to stand trial for allegedly
shooting two people in Batesville.
James L. Fernbach Jr., 32, of Batesville, was
charged with Attempted Murder after he allegedly
shot Phillip Cruiser, 56, of Westport and Benjamin
Dick, 26, of Batesville, outside a Batesville
convenience store on April 4, 2009, with no
motive given.

From
one family to another...a little help is needed

An organization that has faithfully helped
families for more than 30 years is facing
severe cuts to the budget that will impact
the six county area that it serves. Family
Connections, 202 Gaslight Drive in Versailles,
has already seen about a 25% cut to their
budget and is expecting additional cuts that
will result in a reduction in staff and therefore
a reduction in services.
