Flooding for several hometowns Saturday; improvements for Father's Day

Posted by allinclusiveradiollc — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 14:26 GMT

Flooding: Howard, Tipton and Boone Counties Saturday Thanks to a very slow-moving front, training thunderstorms prompted flooding in portions of Howard, Tipton and Boone Counties. The National Weather Service has issued Flash Flood Warnings for those locations into the early afternoon in the wake of these storms. These slow storms like thi cause flood prone and low-lying areas around here to run over. A majority of those pictures come to us from Kokomo. Specifically near the Wildcat Creek and Indian Heights areas. Areas in northern Boone County are also reporting flooding in basements and fields. This includes Lebanon and its surrounding areas. Spots have seen 4-5"+ of rain starting last night and continuing through this morning.

Remember if you encounter floodwaters to turn around and don't drown! While waters will be receding throughout the rest of Saturday, floodwaters are still very dangerous. These storms are "raining themselves out" and weaken as they move south this morning. That's good news when it comes to the rain chances. However, expect some more scattered showers throughout the afternoon and early evening. Heavy rain will be the biggest threat as this front slowly slips southeast. Highs in the upper 70s to near 80 with modest humidity levels also continue.

Be aware that Hoosiers could see Cold Air Funnels in the afternoon skies today. These are usually not associated with severe weather. Rather, they occur during or near a shower/non-severe storm. These funnels are usually weak and rarely touch the ground.

Father's Day looks decent If you have any outdoor plans for Father's Day Sunday, most of the day looks great! Dry hours will outweigh the wet ones with only a stray shower or two being possible in the afternoon. The shower chance would come with the peak daytime heating of the day.

Humidity ramps up with more storms The Muggy Meter will be getting higher going into the work week. All of the rain we've seen will promote extra high dew points in spots. Southwest moisture-filled air will be overhead. This will not only prompt a tropical-like feel outside; it will also prompt daily afternoon storm chances around central Indiana. Each day through Thursday will have dry time but can't rule out storms during the peak heating of the day. By the time late Thursday comes around, a cold front will come knocking. Things will turn quieter and less humid by next Friday and into the weekend.

Minnesota lawmakers shot in "targeted attack"

Posted by allinclusiveradiollc — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 13:55 GMT

CHAMPLIN, Minn. (AP) - A Minnesota mayor says two state lawmakers were shot in their homes early Saturday. Mayor Ryan Sabas of Champlin said state senator John Hoffman and state representative Melissa Hortman were shot, and that Hoffman's wife was also shot. A person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press that investigators believe that the suspect may have been posing as a law enforcement officer. The person said investigators were still working to establish motive for the attacks and were still in the early stages of an investigation. Gov. Tim Walz said the shooting was targeted. Hoffman, a Democrat, was first elected in 2012. He runs Hoffman Strategic Advisors, a consulting firm. He previously served as vice chair of the Anoka Hennepin School Board, which manages the largest school district in Minnesota. Hoffman is married and has one daughter. Hortman is the top House Democratic leader in the state Legislature and a former House speaker. She was first elected in 2004. Hortman, a lawyer, is married and has two children. Both Hoffman and Hortman represent districts located north of Minneapolis. via: https://fox59.com/news/minnesota-lawmakers-shot-in-targeted-attack/

Posted by allinclusiveradiollc — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 02:31 GMT

INDIANAPOLIS - The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Indiana Pacers 111-104 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Friday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Thunder beat the Pacers thanks to a dominant fourth-quarter performance by NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. He led all scorers with 35 points and also recorded three assists in what was a dominant second-half performance. Gilgeous-Alexander led the way for the Thunder as the two teams fought a closely contested game. The Pacers managed to restrict the MVP's offensive game early on, limiting him to 10 free throw attempts and 12-24 shooting from the field. Forward Pascal Siakam led the Pacers with 20 points, eight rebounds, and a season-high five steals. All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton also posted 18 points, seven assists and two rebounds. The game got off to a thunderous start as the Pacers led 35-34 in the first quarter thanks to efficient scoring by Pascal Siakam and four steals. Oklahoma City responded by going on a 9-0 run to reduce the early lead. The back-and-forth nature of the game continued as the second quarter got underway. The Pacers found themselves down by three points with a little over three minutes remaining in the quarter as Obi Toppin was called for a flagrant foul for knocking over Alex Caruso while he attempted a layup. The Pacers led the game at halftime by a score of 60-57. Guard Jalen Williams led all scorers with 16 points heading into halftime. The Pacers continued their thunderous momentum by outscoring Oklahoma City 11-7 early in the third quarter. Thanks to a pair of Obi Toppin 3-pointers, the Pacers managed to reach an eight-point lead with 4:11 left in the third quarter. As the game progressed to the opening minutes of the fourth quarter, the Thunder managed to cut the lead to three points. Oklahoma City recorded its first lead in the second half with 2:15 remaining in the fourth quarter. The game was ultimately decided by free throws as Gilgeous-Alexander converted a pair with 44 seconds remaining in the game. Bennedict Mathurin then missed two free throws for the Pacers with 23 seconds left in the game. The victory means the series is now tied 2-2. The Pacers and Thunder will head to Oklahoma City for Game 5 on Monday, June 16. Tipoff is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. at Paycom Center. via: https://fox59.com/sports/thunder-beat-pacers-in-game-4-of-nba-finals-even-series-2-2/

Charges dismissed against accused Bloomington rapist as timeline questions trigger speedy trial rule

Posted by allinclusiveradiollc — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 20:17 GMT

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Rape charges filed against a former Indiana University football player are being dismissed after defense attorneys argued the State took too long to bring the case to trial. A judge sided with the defense attorneys while state prosecutors argued they should have had until July 8 to start the trial. Indiana Criminal Rule 4(C) grants criminal suspects the right to a speedy trial. Under this rule, the State is burdened with bringing the case to trial within 365 days from the date of arrest or charge. Connor Delp was accused of raping two women in Bloomington on Nov. 11, 2022. Rape charges were filed against him on May 8, 2023. While 766 days have passed since the clock started on the speedy trial rule, delays attributed to the defense, along with other court actions, can cause the clock to "pause," pushing back the deadline and preventing IC Rule 4(C) from triggering. For example, Monroe County Prosecutor Erika Oliphant said the defense counsel filed a Motion to Dismiss on Aug. 8., 2023. The judge took 204 days to rule on this motion, ultimately denying it. On March 11, 2024, the defense filed a motion for an appeal. "In order to exclude the time for the interlocutory appeal process under Criminal Rule 4, the Court must order that the trial court proceedings be stayed. In this case, the proceedings were not stayed," Oliphant said. "In fact, a pretrial conference was held between the time when the Court granted Motion to Certify for Interlocutory Appeal and May 1, 2024, when the Indiana Court of Appeals denied the defendant's Motion for Discretionary Interlocutory Appeal. As a result, an additional 52 days of delay occurred that is likely not attributable to the defense by law. Had the Court stayed proceedings during the interlocutory appeal process, it would have unequivocally preserved additional time in which to bring the case to trial." Oliphant argues that 308 days should be attributable to the defense for these various motions. His office argues they should have had until July 8, 2025, to bring Delp to trial before running afoul of the deadline. The trial was scheduled to begin on June 23, which would have fallen within the allotted timeframe according to Oliphant's assertions. But a judge disagreed, siding with the defense. "When the State requested an opportunity to respond to the defendant's oral motion for discharge under Criminal Rule 4, the Court deemed that a hearing was unnecessary and ordered the case dismissed with prejudice, meaning the State cannot refile or otherwise pursue the allegations made in this case," Oliphant said. Oliphant went on to call the proceedings a "tragic result" for the two victims, who now have to stand by and watch the case be dismissed through no fault of the case built against Delp. "The State has been denied the opportunity to try and meet its burden," Oliphant said. But the prosecutor's statement also included missteps by her office that otherwise might have prevented the case timeline from becoming questionable. Oliphant admitted that if her office had pushed the judge to make a decision faster during the 204 days the judge spent weighing the motion to dismiss, then perhaps the discharge of the criminal charges against Delp could have been avoided. "However, the State did not make use of Trial Rule 53.1 in this case," Oliphant said in reference to the "lazy judge" rule. "Had the State made use of that procedure to expedite the decision on the defendant's Motion to Dismiss, this discharge might have been avoided." In the end, the twisted and questionable timeline led to a crystal clear ending. A dismissal that the Monroe County Prosecutor's Office cannot refile and allegations left unanswered and undefended as the victims, defendant and investigators are no longer granted the opportunity to lay out their case in court. Innocent or guilty, Delp walks free. via: https://fox59.com/news/indycrime/charges-dismissed-against-accused-bloomington-rapist-as-timeline-questions-trigger-speedy-trial-rule/

Mother, boyfriend sentenced in death of toddler Oaklee Snow

Posted by allinclusiveradiollc — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 17:34 GMT

INDIANAPOLIS - The mother of a 1-year-old girl whose body was found in a dresser inside an abandoned home near Morgantown was sentenced to 25 years in prison. Madison Marshall blamed her former boyfriend, Roan Waters, for the death of her daughter, Oaklee Snow. Snow was abducted from her father's house in Oklahoma on Jan. 19, 2023, and was last seen at a "trap house" in Indianapolis before a tragic search ended with the child's remains being found in a dresser in Morgan County. Prosecutor: Oaklee Snow's remains found in dresser in abandoned Morgantown home Marshall ended up leading police to her daughter's final resting place and told police that Waters abused the young girl and threw her on the floor at the drug house. Waters was also sentenced for his part in the girl's death on Friday. He received a heftier sentence of 45 years in prison. Roan Waters/ Arapahoe County Sheriff

Marshall pleaded guilty first, at the end of April, and agreed to testify against Waters. But Waters didn't end up going before a jury, deciding in May to accept a plea deal. Waters' plea deal came with a 45-year sentence, which was what the judge handed down officially on Friday. Marshall's plea deal outlined a minimum sentence of 25 years. The judge officially agreed to this sentence on Friday.

Caitlin Clark set to return from injury, Fever waive Aari McDonald

Posted by allinclusiveradiollc — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 16:45 GMT

INDIANAPOLIS - She's back! The Indiana Fever confirmed on Friday that star point guard Caitlin Clark is set to return to play after recovering from an injured quad. The team announced the news in a post on X. "She's back," the post read, accompanied by a fire emoji. CC is back According to the team, Clark is set to return to action on Saturday, June 14, against the New York Liberty. The home game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse is set to tip off at 3 p.m. Clark, last year's WNBA Rookie of the Year, has missed five games after injuring herself in a game against the Liberty on May 24. The Fever went 2-3 with her out of the lineup as she heals from a lower leg injury. Voted to the All-WNBA First Team last season, this year Clark is averaging 19 points, 9.3 assists, 6 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game for the Fever. It is unclear yet if Clark will start in Saturday's game against the Liberty or if she will ramp back up her minutes load over several games. McDonald waived The Fever also announced Friday afternoon that the team is waiving guard Aari McDonald, who was signed June 1 in the wake of Clark's injury via the WNBA's emergency hardship exception. Officials said that the team was forced to waive McDonald pursuant to league rules, which state a player must be waived once the team returns to its game-eligible 10 person roster. With Clark returning from injury, the team was required to drop their latest signing. McDonald quickly became a fan-favorite among Fever faithfuls by helping to secure wins against the Chicago Sky and Washington Mystics during Clark's absence. In her three games as a member of the team, McDonald averaged 11 points, 3 assists and 2 steals per game. via: https://fox59.com/sports/indiana-fever/shes-back-caitlin-clark-set-to-return-from-injury-for-indiana-fever/

Greentown farm equipment salesman charged with 17 counts of fraud, forgery

Posted by allinclusiveradiollc — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 15:48 GMT

GREENTOWN, Ind. - A Greentown man who worked as a salesman at Truland Equipment in Swayzee is accused of taking out thousands of dollars worth of loans in the names of local farmers - among other fraudulent schemes. Dustin Echelbarger, 43, was arrested on Friday by Indiana State Police. He is charged with 17 felony counts of fraud and forgery. According to state police, the eight-month investigation into Echelbarger was spearheaded by detectives from the Indiana State Police Peru Post. Authorities were first tipped off in October about the alleged crimes of Echelbarger, which included accusations of fraud, forgery and corrupt business practices. Investigators said that while working as a farm equipment salesman, Echelbarger engaged in fraudulent activities by buying, selling, and trading equipment to farmers across northern Indiana. Echelbarger allegedly collected more than $750,000 through fabricated purchase orders while also securing more than $650,000 in loans under the names of local farmers. Successful Farming reported how several Hoosier farmers suddenly found themselves on the hook for thousands of dollars due to Echelbarger's fraudulent business deals. One of the victims, Kimberly Hannah, celebrated Echelbarger's arrest after waiting more than 10 months for some form of justice. "This individual is a heartless thief who has mercilessly stolen from small farms, small businesses, communities, financial institutions and innocent individuals, showing no remorse for his actions," Hannah wrote. "His greed and lack of conscience have caused profound harm-destroying livelihoods, destroying farming operations, disrupting families, and undermining the trust that holds communities together." Echelbarger's criminal charges are Level 5 and Level 6 felonies. In Indiana, a Level 5 felony carries a maximum sentence of six years in prison. via: https://fox59.com/news/greentown-farm-equipment-salesman-charged-with-17-counts-of-fraud-forgery/

Convicted Kokomo child molester showed 'no remorse;' sentenced to 120 years

Posted by allinclusiveradiollc — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 15:13 GMT

KOKOMO, Ind. - A Kokomo man will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars after a judge sentenced him to more than a century in prison. Geremy D. Miller, 48, was found guilty in April of 24 counts of child molestation-related felony charges. The jury deliberated for nearly four hours before handing down their verdict. On Friday, a judge sentenced Miller to 120 years in prison. Booking photo of Geremy Miller Previous stories detail how Miller is accused of molesting multiple children, with the allegations stretching back to 2008. One victim claimed Miller began grooming them in Third Grade and began abusing them in Fourth Grade. The abuse escalated until Miller allegedly forced the victim into sex acts in Sixth Grade. The molestation continued for several more years, according to the victim. Miller reportedly used threats of violence to keep the victims from speaking out. The judge cited both the victims' young agef and Miller's "numerous manipulative actions" to hide his crimes for years as part of the reason for the hefty sentence. The judge also wrote that Miller "has shown no true remorse" and referred to his victims as "b*****s" and said he hopes the victims "get what is coming to them." What's coming for Miller is more than a century in state prison. via: https://fox59.com/news/indycrime/convicted-kokomo-child-molester-showed-no-remorse-sentenced-to-120-years/

Israel attacks Iran's nuclear and missile sites, Iran responds with drone strikes

Posted by allinclusiveradiollc — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 09:16 GMT

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - Israel attacked Iran's capital early Friday in strikes that targeted the country's nuclear program and killed at least two top military officers, raising the potential for an all-out war between the two bitter Middle East adversaries. It appeared to be the most significant attack Iran has faced since its 1980s war with Iraq. Simmering tensions over Iran's rapidly advancing nuclear program boiled over and Iran quickly retaliated, sending a swarm of drones at Israel as Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned of "severe punishment." Countries in the region condemned Israel's attack, while leaders around the globe called for immediate deescalation from both sides. !function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(e){if(void 0!==e.data["datawrapper-height"]){var t=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var a in e.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r=0;r Israel's military said about 200 aircraft were involved in the initial attack on about 100 targets. Two security officials said the country's Mossad spy agency was also able to position explosive drones inside Iran ahead of time and then activate them to target missile launchers at an Iranian base near Tehran. They said Israel had also smuggled precision weapons into central Iran as well as strike systems on vehicles, which were activated as the attack began to hit Iranian air defenses. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the highly secretive missions and it was not possible to independently confirm their claims. There was no official comment. The Israeli attack hit several sites, including Iran's main nuclear enrichment facility at Natanz, where black smoke could be seen rising into the air. Later in the morning, Israel said it had also destroyed dozens of radar installations and surface-to-air missile launchers in western Iran. The leader of Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, Gen. Hossein Salami, was confirmed dead, Iranian state television reported, a significant blow to Tehran's governing theocracy and an immediate escalation of its long-simmering conflict with Israel. The chief of staff of Iranian armed forces, Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, was also confirmed dead by Iranian state television. Khamenei said other top military officials and scientists were also killed. In response, Iran fired more than 100 drones at Israel, with both Iraq and Jordan confirming they had flown over their airspace. Israel said the drones were being intercepted outside its airspace, and it was not immediately clear whether any got through. The Trump administration, which had cautioned Israel against an attack during continued negotiations over Iran's nuclear enrichment program, said it had not been involved and warned against any retaliation targeting U.S. interests or personnel. Still, it seemed likely the U.S. suspected an attack could be in the offing, with Washington on Wednesday pulling some American diplomats from Iraq's capital and offering voluntary evacuations for the families of U.S. troops in the wider Middle East. Israel calls attacks preemptive strikes on Iran's nuclear program Israeli leaders cast attack as necessary to head off an imminent threat that Iran would build nuclear bombs, though it remains unclear how close the country is to achieving that or whether Iran had actually been planning a strike. Iran maintains its nuclear program is for civilian purposes only. "It could be a year. It could be within a few months," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed as he vowed to pursue the attack for as long as necessary to "remove this threat." "This is a clear and present danger to Israel's very survival," he said. Over the past year, Israel has been targeting Iran's air defenses, hitting a radar system for a Russian-made air defense battery in April 2024 and surface-to-air missile sites and missile manufacturing facilities in October. Nervous Israelis rushed to supermarkets in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and elsewhere to buy bottled water and other supplies, and circulated messages on WhatsApp groups advising each other to prepare their shelters for potential long-term use. Iran claims Israel targeted residential areas Israel "opened its wicked and blood-stained hand to a crime in our beloved country, revealing its malicious nature more than ever by striking residential centers," Khamenei said in a statement. For Netanyahu, the operation distracts attention from Israel's ongoing and increasingly devastating war in Gaza, which is now over 20 months old. There is a broad consensus in the Israeli public that Iran is a major threat, and Israel's opposition leader, Yair Lapid, a staunch critic of Netanyahu, offered his "full support" for the mission against Iran. But if Iranian reprisals cause heavy Israeli casualties or major disruptions to daily life, public opinion could shift quickly. Netanyahu expressed hope the attacks would trigger the downfall of Iran's theocracy, saying his message to the Iranian people was that the fight was not with them, but with the "brutal dictatorship that has oppressed you for 46 years." "I believe that the day of your liberation is near," the Israeli leader said. Multiple sites in the Iranian capital were hit in the attack, which Netanyahu said targeted both nuclear and military sites. Also targeted were officials leading Iran's nuclear program and its ballistic missile arsenal. The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed that an Israeli strike hit Iran's uranium enrichment facility at Natanz and said it was closely monitoring radiation levels. The strike on Iran pushed the Israeli military to its limits, requiring the use of aging air-to-air refuelers to get its fighter jets close enough to attack. It wasn't immediately clear if Israeli jets entered Iranian airspace or just fired so-called "standoff missiles" over another country. People in Iraq heard fighter jets overhead at the time of the attack. Israel previously attacked Iran from over the border in Iraq. Tension had been growing for weeks ahead of attacks The potential for an attack had been apparent for weeks as angst built over Iran's nuclear program. President Donald Trump on Thursday said that he did not believe an attack was imminent but also acknowledged that it "could very well happen." Once the attacks were underway, the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem issued an alert telling American government workers and their families to shelter in place until further notice. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Israel took "unilateral action against Iran" and that Israel advised the U.S. that it believed the strikes were necessary for its self-defense. "We are not involved in strikes against Iran, and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region," Rubio said in a statement released by the White House. Trump is scheduled to attend a meeting of his National Security Council on Friday in the White House Situation Room, where he is expected to discuss the conflict with top advisers. Israel has long been determined to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, a concern laid bare on Thursday when the Board of Governors at the International Atomic Energy Agency for the first time in 20 years censured Iran over its refusal to work with its inspectors. Iran immediately announced it would establish a third enrichment site and install more advanced centrifuges. Even so, there are multiple assessments on how many nuclear weapons Iran could conceivably build, should it choose to do so. Iran would need months to assemble, test and field any weapon, which it so far has said it has no desire to do. U.S. intelligence agencies also assess Iran does not have a weapons program at this time. In a sign of the far-reaching implications of the emerging conflict, Israel's main airport was closed and benchmark Brent crude spiked on news of the attack, rising nearly 8%. via: https://fox59.com/news/national-world/israel-attacks-irans-nuclear-and-missile-sites-iran-responds-with-drone-strikes/

Good Friday morning. So far, we are staying dry, but that will change by late morning. Showers and storms are expected to increase after 10 a.m. Friday. Temperatures will remain in the lower 70s over the next several hours. Showers and storms will be around throughout the day today with temperatures sitting in the mid 70s.

A lot is going on downtown tonight with Zoobilation, Game 4 of the NBA Finals, the Italian Street Festival and Indians baseball. Plan on showers and storms around, but there is a chance for some dry time this evening. Temperatures will be in the mid to upper 70s.

Showers and storms are likely to continue through the weekend with highs in the upper 70s and lower 80s. The drier of the two will be on Sunday, but spotty showers will be possible.

WATCH: Security camera video shows attempted ATM theft at west side business

Posted by allinclusiveradiollc — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 00:26 GMT

INDIANAPOLIS -- Indianapolis metro police are investigating an attempted burglary that recently took place at a dry cleaner business on Indy's west side. According to a public police report filed by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, detectives are investigating an attempted burglary that was reported at Fabric Care Center, a business located at 5760 W. Morris Street. The business offers dry cleaning services and also functions as a late-night laundromat. The police report details that the incident left the business owner with a reported $20,000 in damages. This includes an estimated $3,000 in damages to one of the business's washers and another $2,000 after the alleged suspects unsuccessfully attempted to steal an ATM. On Thursday night, FOX59/CBS4 obtained surveillance footage of the attempted burglary. Two different hooded suspects can be seen ramming the back of their vehicle into a sliding glass door at the entrance to the business. After they manage to break through the sliding door with what police believe was possibly a maroon or burgundy Kia SUV, one of the alleged suspects proceeds to attach a hook connected to the back of the vehicle to an ATM located inside the business. The other suspect inside the vehicle then accelerated in an attempt to pry the ATM loose. Courtesy of Thomas Prionas.

During these attempts, the suspect operating the vehicle repeatedly backed into the storefront, damaging a washer and their vehicle in the process. These efforts ultimately proved unsuccessful as the footage concludes with the two suspects driving away from the empty parking lot.

Contract calls for work product to be released in Cook investigation

Posted by allinclusiveradiollc — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 22:33 GMT

INDIANAPOLIS -- A close analysis of the contract the City-County Council signed with a Chicago law firm to investigate former Deputy Mayor Thomas Cook for sexual harassment indicates the raw files, "work product," generated during the probe belong to the Council. Next Tuesday night, the Council's Administration & Finance Committee will debate whether the councilors should pay Fisher Phillips up to an additional $300,000 for billable hours on top of the $150,000 the firm has already received for generating a 55-page report that absolved Mayor Joe Hogsett of any wrongdoing in the investigation and discipline of his once righthand man. Hogsett: 'I don't have any plans to resign' in response to multiple calls for resignation The report found Hogsett followed city Human Resources and legal counsel procedures in determining the extent of Cook's alleged misdeeds with women in the administration and determining discipline. The contract signed last November instructed Fisher Phillips to "examine the harassment allegations made by individuals employed by the Hogsett administration (Administration) and campaign and analyze whether proper procedures were followed." One of Cook's accusers, Lauren Roberts, told the mayor that his then-campaign manager began harassing her in 2014 when she was hired during the run-up to Hogsett's first election. After Cook was disciplined by Hogsett during his first term in office, he was forced out of his position as Chief of Staff and separated from city employment during the mayor's second term in 2020 when Hogsett said he learned of new allegations that violated warnings to Cook to not continually engage in such behavior. Cook was given two months to wrap up his city projects before leaving the office as councilors have raised questions about whether he was searching for a new job while on taxpayer time and Hogsett has promised a review of Cook's actions during that lag is forthcoming. Despite that checkered history, Cook was hired by an Indianapolis law firm closely associated with the Marion County Democratic Party and allowed to work on city-related business, possibly in violation of a one-year mandated "cooling off period" once he left city employment. While the council contract with Fisher Phillips clearly spells out its mandate was to review the "campaign" for potential sexual harassment violations, in its report released on May 29, the firm found that both Cook and Roberts, in 2014, were not city employees, and therefore not subject to the written findings of the investigators. Hogsett said he dismissed Cook from his unpaid advisor role in the last month of his 2023 re-election campaign when he became aware of allegations that his former aide's behavior continued in the latter stages of his city career. As she was forcibly being ejected from City-County Council chambers Monday night when her allotted time to address the Council expired, Roberts argued that the mayor and the city had not fully addressed her complaints about Cook in a timely manner. In her own 49-page report responding to the Fisher Phillips investigation, Roberts recounted her several attempts, including reaching out to Stephanie Hogsett, the mayor's wife at the time, to report Cook's harassment. Councilors who have spoken to FOX59/CBS4 have indicated they would like to read the entire Fisher Phillips file, not simply the final report, to determine what was included and what was left out of the findings. An attorney who reviewed the law firm's contract with the council said councilors have that right. "The report is a summary of all the work done. They would have had many people looking into a lot of leads, interviewing a lot of witnesses, generating all sorts of other documents, many of which don't contain anything important at all, but some of them do," said Jeff McQuary, a criminal defense attorney who began his career reviewing government contracts in the Indiana Attorney General's office. "The contract defines works as basically everything that the law firm does, anything that it writes down, anything that it makes, any notes, any papers and then it says, 'The Council shall have free and unlimited access to the works at all times and upon demand shall have the right to claim and take possession of the works and all copies.'" McQuary said that before the City cuts its final check to the Chicago lawyers for their time and effort, the council should demand the delivery of the work product as so delineated by the contract. "The Council has every right to ask for that, it's surprising that they wouldn't," he said. "The contract very clearly specifies that they have access to it at any time." While some councilors have expressed concern that should they be in receipt of the work product, perhaps including raw unverified witness accounts, and the media, a witness or a citizen would file an Open Record Act request to view the information, McQuary said the Council's Investigative Committee, an ad hoc committee chaired by Democrat Crista Carlino, could receive the files in executive session, review them, redact any unrelated or confidential information, and still release the documents for public review. Hogsett said he spent five-and-a-half hours answering questions from the firm's investigators while Cook was not interviewed, even though the council has subpoena power. Last fall, it was announced that the Indiana State Police would examine the women's complaints to determine if criminal charges against Cook were warranted. ISP has not announced the results of its investigation. McQuary said the raw files from the Chicago counsel could be subpoenaed by a Grand Jury or sought by ISP as part of its probe. During a seven-minute-long interview with FOX59/CBS4 Tuesday afternoon, Hogsett was asked if he supported releasing the work product to clear up any lingering doubts about the investigation and its findings, or lack thereof. "No, I have never supported releasing confidential documents for information that has been obtained with anonymity and confidentiality surrounding it," said the mayor. "Now, others have chosen to reveal some of that information, but I don't support it. I support protecting the integrity of the process." Indianapolis City-County Council President issues apology after chaotic meeting Roberts and another woman, Caroline Ellert, a former communications director in the Office of Public Health & Safety, have gone public with their allegations against Cook. Both women revealed personal text messages from Hogsett unrelated to campaign or city business that they say left them feeling uncomfortable. "But what about the integrity of the people involved?" FOX59/CBS4's Russ McQuaid asked. "They're saying, 'I'm willing to give up that non-disclosure. I want to see it all come out, too.' So it almost looks like you're protecting yourself as opposed to protecting them." "No, I'm not protecting myself at all," said Hogsett. "I'm protecting the process. It calls for anonymity and confidentiality for both complaining parties as well as witnesses. If you're a witness and see something that you need to report, you don't want to read about your report in the morning paper. And that's what I'm trying to protect, the integrity of the process and the confidentiality of witnesses and survivors to come forward." Hogsett said that despite the calls from three councilors that he step down, the mayor has no plans to resign or negotiate a public censure by the council.
