INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) Barring inconvenient weather, the 300 block of South Vine Street on the city’s west side will be loaded with traffic, people and noise this weekend for what neighbors call a “flea market” that is held on one of the resident’s yards.
The city has been out here twice to investigate but the inspections have been during the week when nothing is happening.
“It is like a variety store, I call it a flea market. That is not a yard sale,” said Bill Howard, who can hardly stand the weekends these days and says the city isn’t helping. “Nobody will do anything.”
A Hopkinsville man was arrested at around 4:45 a.m. Friday at an apartment in the 1300 block of South Campbell Street on alleged drug charges during a burglary in progress,
A man was killed and a second was injured in a home invasion on South Vine Street in Hopkinsville Thursday morning.
Hopkinsville Police say the preliminary investigation revealed a man armed with a gun forced his way into the home and the homeowner got into a fight with the man.
During the fight, the owner reportedly choked the suspect and was hit several times with the gun before it discharged.
The suspect was allegedly found deceased inside the home when police arrived. The homeowner was taken by ambulance to Jennie Stuart Medical Center for head injuries.
It is unclear at this time if the suspect was shot when the gun went off during the fight.
The first jury trial scheduled to take place in Christian County in around a year was postponed Monday morning after the victim in the case did not appear in court despite being allegedly subpoenaed. Jury trials were postponed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Christian County Circuit Court Judge John Atkins was scheduled to hear the case of Travis Mayes, 39, who is accused of a South Vine Street shooting case in February 2020, which involved the shooting and injury of Derrell Bateman.
As the court was meant to begin jury selection for the trial Monday morning, Bateman failed to appear in court, forcing Atkins to postpone the trial for another three months.
