A Tell City woman is accused of sexual misconduct with a minor.

Police say the 14-year-old alleged victim was talking about the encounter at school and school officials called police.

The suspect, 31-year-old Erin Conner will make an initial court appearance on Tuesday.  She's also accused of disseminatung matter harmful to minors.

Perry County Sheriff Lee Chestnut says an ‘Obama for President’ sign was defaced with a spray-painted racial slur, just over a week ago. The sign on Indiana 237, has since been taken down and replaced.

Perry County Democratic Party Chairman Dale Groves says everyone is entitled to their own political opinion, but that there is no excuse for this type of message and vandalism. Chestnut says this act could be considered a hate crime, if a suspect is caught and the county’s prosecutor, Chad Acchiardo, deems it as such.

Wednesday night at approximately 7:51 p.m. CDT the Tell City Dispatch Center received a 911 call reporting a crash on I-64 at mile post 73.5 westbound. Indiana State Police say Kenneth G. Derr, 64, Boonville and his brother Michael W. Derr, 69, Evansville had pulled off onto the north shoulder to change a flat tire on their trailer.

The flat tire was on the left (driver’s) side of the trailer.  Kenneth was in the process of changing the tire when a dark colored, believed to be an older model dark blue small pick-up truck or passenger car crossed over the fog line and hit Kenneth.  Then without stopping the suspect vehicle continued west on I-64.
