Alongside churches and schools, the military is one of the oldest and most important institutions in the U.S. The U.S. Armed Forces include the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard.

CROTHERSVILLE, Ind. – From September 2020 to January 2021, the Seymour Police Department and Jackson County Sheriff’s Office received 13 complaints of stalking and invasion of privacy that were allegedly being committed by Jesse L. Brown, 43, of Crothersville. Three of the complaints resulted in criminal charges being filed.
On January 19, officers served a warrant for stalking and invasion of privacy on the suspect at 10050 East State Road 250, in Crothersville, and he was arrested.
Two days later, investigators obtained a search warrant for the property to collect additional evidence in the stalking and invasion of privacy case. During the search, investigators supposedly found numerous media type devices, over four ounces of methamphetamine, a handgun, drug paraphernalia, a bulletproof vest with the word “Sheriff” on it, and an old Jackson County Sheriff Office uniform shirt with a badge.

Mike Meyer, commander, Naval Surface Squadron Fourteen, presided over the ceremony and helped celebrate Litchfield’s successful tour aboard. The crew recently completed Basic Phase in exemplary fashion and is currently wrapping up preparations for her maiden deployment.
“The last two and a half years aboard Thomas Hudner as executive officer and commanding officer have been the most challenging years of my 30-year career, but also some of the most exciting and memorable,” said Litchfield. “I could not be prouder of this command and our Sailors. They have crushed every task and overcome every obstacle throughout a very arduous schedule and global pandemic.”
