INDIANAPOLIS - Flooding was reported across portions of central Indiana Saturday morning and afternoon.

As of 3:30 p.m., the National Weather Service had issued flood warnings for parts of Howard, Carroll, White, Putnam, Owen, Clay, Boone and Marion counties. Flood watches were also in effect in Hendricks, Morgan, Johnson, Shelby, Hancock, Henry, Wayne, Union, Fayette, Franklin, Decatur, Bartholomew, Brown, Monroe, Greene, Vigo and Sullivan counties.

Per the National Weather Service, as much as three to six inches of rainfall may have accumulated in parts of central Indiana on Saturday. The rain produced flooding along creeks and rivers.

In north central Indiana, Wildcat Creek is expected to crest a few feet above flood stage.

Significant flooding was reported near the intersection of Dixon Road and State Road 26 south of Kokomo. Sitting rainwater caused some roadways and mailboxes in the area to become submerged.



A notification from the Indiana Department of Transportation indicated that State Road 26 westbound actually had to be closed between U.S. Highway 31 and State Road 931 because standing water had overtaken the roadway.

Along Kickapoo Drive in Kokomo, some cars became stranded in standing water.



On County Road 1100 West in Tipton County, water pooled in yards and gardens.



Flooding also heavily impacted portions of County Road 0 between County Road 800 North and State Road 26 in Tipton County. County Road 800 North itself was also closed between county roads 100 and 200.

In Thorntown, floodwaters breeched the skirting around some mobile homes and flooded nearby yards.



The Boone County Sheriff's Office reported that County Road 500 East had to be shut down between Pumpkinvine Road and County Road 750 North because standing water made the roadway impassable. Floodwaters also forced Boone County officials to close County Road 400 East between County Roads 850 and 750.

As of 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Tipton, Carroll and Howard Counties were all under travel advisories. During travel advisories, motorists should expect certain travel activities to be restricted because some roads may have been affected by weather-related hazards.

At 4:25 p.m., the NWS reported that no additional rainfall was expected Saturday, but flood impacts are going to continue. The agency is encouraging motorists to "turn around, don't drown" when they encounter flooded roads.

Cars can be swept away when driven into flooded roadways, according to the NWS. Flooding may also cause river banks and culverts to become unstable.

Flood warnings are expected to expire around 10:15 p.m. Saturday. Some of the flood watches the NWS issued were canceled around 5 p.m. The remaining flood watches in effect are expected to expire at 10 p.m.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
