Police block a road near Elnora and Southwest Medical personnel stand by Tuesday evening as authorities search for a man who struck a utility pole and flipped his 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe on CR 300E near CR 1450N. Timothy J. Williams, 50, Plainville, was injured in the crash, but fled on foot into a cornfield when medical personnel arrived. Officers searched the cornfield three hours for Williams not knowing if he lay there injured or what the circumstances were, according to Sheriff Jerry Harbstreit. A K-9 unit and thermal imaging unit were used to try to locate Williams, whom relatives said might be using drugs. He eventually came out of the cornfield. Charges of resisting law enforcement, leaving the scene of an accident and possession of a firearm by a felon are pending against Williams. Damage was estimated between $5,000 and $10,000.

IU still working towards sixth banner
Monday night in Atlanta, Louisville won the school’s first National Championship since the year I was born - 1986. This accomplishment is significant to Indiana basketball fans, because the last two times the Cardinals cut down the nets (1980, 1986), the Hoosiers did it the following year. The stat, of course means nothing, other than both schools had strong programs in the 1980s.
