Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 28th of July.
Good morning, Evansville.
💼 Business
Downtown Evansville business owners face ongoing construction on Riverside Drive, the Lloyd Expressway and Sycamore Street and cope by turning frustrations into humor—one owner even wrote a satirical letter to CRG Properties offering cash if the work speeds up as the new apartments are expected to be filled by fall.
🚨 Crime
On Saturday, officers from the Evansville Police Department investigated an abandoned home on the 2400 block of Joan Court where two dogs were found in a bedroom covered in animal waste and bugs—officers reported a strong ammonia smell that stung their eyes and the dogs were taken to animal control.
Evansville Police stopped 24 year old Cameron Hertweck on the Lloyd Expressway for driving 87 mph—37 mph over the limit—and his breathalyzer registered a BAC of .191, leading to his arrest for drunk driving.
On Thursday, police arrived at the Howard Johnson Hotel on Green River Road after a woman called 911 about being shot—she said 21-year-old Treyvone Hooks met her via text, threatened her with a gun, grazed her stomach and pierced her leg requiring surgery—and he was arrested Saturday on charges of aggravated battery, battery causing serious bodily injury and battery with a deadly weapon.
