Over pound of fentanyl, cocaine mixture found during search of Evansville apartment
HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – Authorities say they recovered over a pound of fentanyl and cocaine following a search warrant at an Evansville apartment.
According to an affidavit, investigators with the Evansville-Vanderburgh County Drug Task Force and the DEA Evansville Office received information in the fall of 2024 that Robert Dismuke was obtaining pounds of methamphetamine from a source outside of Evansville. Authorities say Dismuke had a woman drive him to Indianapolis from Evansville on January 29 to transport a large amount of narcotics.
During a traffic stop, Indiana State Police say a K-9 alerted to the presence of a controlled substance inside the vehicle. Authorities say Dismuke was arrested and approximately three pounds of methamphetamine and approximately two ounces of fentanyl were discovered under the hood of the vehicle.
Detectives executed a search warrant at an apartment in the 200 block of West Florida Street in Evansville where Dismuke said he has been staying. During a search of the apartment, law enforcement said they uncovered illegal contraband, most of which was found inside of a bathroom attached only to a bedroom where Israel Mays was staying.
The following items were reportedly found in the apartment:
A folded up dollar bill containing 1 gram of cocaine
1.3 grams of MDMA pills
One 20mg Oxycodone Hydrochloride pill, identified as a Schedule II substance.
Fifteen round pink pills identified as Oxycodone Hydrochloride
1.3 grams of MDMA pills
A clear plastic bag containing 29 grams of blue round pills that field tested positive for fentnanyl
A clear plastic bag containing 4.5 grams of a green leafy substance that field tested positive for THC
Unlabeled pill bottles containing capsules identified as Gabapentin
A gallon size bag containing a 'cutting agent'
Four containers containing a substance containing a 'cutting agent'
Several small bags containing powder like substances that field tested positive for a mixture of cocaine and fentanyl with a field weight of 542 grams
A black digital scale with white powder residue
Twenty bottles of Promethazene, totaling over 11,000 grams of liquid, identified as a Schedule II substance
Authorities say Mays was arrested and taken into custody as he was climbing out of his bedroom window on Friday. He was charged with dealing a Schedule II drug, dealing cocaine or a narcotic drug, possession of cocaine and two counts of possession of a Schedule II drug.

St. Paul police looking for hit-and-run driver who critically injured pedestrian
Police are looking for a hit-and-run driver who struck and critically injured a pedestrian Tuesday night in St. Paul. Officers were called about 10:50 p.m. and were told that a Nissan Sentra rear-ended a vehicle at Johnson Parkway and East Seventh Street, said Sgt. Toy Vixayvong, a St. Paul police spokesman. The Nissan's driver didn't stop, and the driver of the vehicle that was struck followed. About half a mile away, the Nissan hit a pedestrian in the area of Phalen Boulevard and Johnson Parkway. The Nissan left the area. The driver who followed the Nissan called 911 and their passenger began life-saving measures for the pedestrian, Vixayvong said. The pedestrian was unresponsive and St. Paul Fire Department medics took the woman to Regions Hospital with life-threatening injuries. The Nissan was abandoned at Maryland Avenue and Phalen Boulevard. Police set up a perimeter with K-9 tracking and assistance from the Minnesota State Patrol helicopter. They did not find the suspect. The Nissan had not been reported as stolen and police are working to determine who was driving it, Vixayvong said.

Authorities believe they spotted ex-soldier Travis Decker, who is wanted in deaths of 3 daughters
SEATTLE -- Authorities say they believe they spotted Travis Decker, an ex-soldier wanted in the deaths of his three daughters, near a remote alpine lake in Washington state, after receiving a tip from hikers who said they saw a lone person who appeared to be ill-prepared for the conditions. The Chelan County Sheriff's office said in a Facebook post Tuesday that tracking teams responded immediately, and a helicopter crew spotted a hiker near Colchuk Lake, in a popular Cascade Range backpacking area called The Enchantments. The off-trail hiker ran from sight as the helicopter passed, the sheriff's office said. Teams later found a trail, and K-9 teams tracked the person to the area of the Ingalls Creek Trailhead, south of Leavenworth. Authorities did not say when they spotted the subject, but late Monday night they issued an alert for residents in the Ingalls Creek and the Valleyhi community to lock homes and vehicles and to be on the lookout for Decker. Decker, 32, has been the target of a large manhunt ever since June 2, when a sheriff's deputy found his truck and the bodies of his three daughters — 9-year-old Paityn Decker, 8-year-old Evelyn Decker and 5-year-old Olivia Decker — at a campground outside Leavenworth. He had failed to return the girls to their mother's home in Wenatchee, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) east of Seattle, following a scheduled visit three days earlier. Decker was an infantryman in the U.S. Army from March 2013 to July 2021 and deployed to Afghanistan for four months in 2014. He has training in navigation, survival and other skills, authorities said. He once spent more than two months living in the backwoods off the grid. Officials with an array of state and federal agencies have searched hundreds of square miles, much of it mountainous and remote, by land, water and air. The U.S. Marshals Service was offering a reward of up to $20,000 for information leading to his capture. Last September, his ex-wife, Whitney Decker, wrote in a petition to modify their parenting plan that his mental health issues had worsened and that he had become increasingly unstable, often living out of his truck. She sought to restrict him from having overnight visits with their daughters until he found housing. An autopsy on Friday determined the cause of death to be suffocation, the sheriff's office said. The girls had been bound with zip ties and had plastic bags placed over their heads.
