Weather Alert

...AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT FROM MIDNIGHT TONIGHT TO MIDNIGHT CDT
TUESDAY NIGHT...

The Indiana Department of Environmental Management has called for an
Air Quality Action Day for high levels of Ozone in the air for
Tuesday, May 30, for the following Southwest Indiana counties,

Vanderburgh, Posey, Warrick, Spencer, Gibson, and Pike.

This alert is in effect from midnight tonight to midnight CDT
Tuesday night.

An Air Quality Action Day for ozone is issued when a combination of
high temperatures, light winds and other factors are expected to
produce conditions where high levels of ozone emissions may exceed
federally mandated standards.

Here are some recommended actions that the public can take to reduce
Ozone emissions:

* Walk, bike, carpool, or use public transportation
* Avoid using the drive-through and combine errands into one
trip
* Avoid refueling your vehicle or using gasoline-powered lawn
equipment until after 7 pm
* Turn off your engine when idling for more than 30 seconds
* Conserve energy by turning off lights or setting the air
conditioner to 75 degrees or above.

Anyone sensitive to changes in air quality may be affected when
Ozone levels are high. Children, the elderly, and anyone with heart
or lung conditions should reduce or avoid exertion and heavy work
outdoors.

A man who was recently sentenced to 45 years in a suspected murder-for-hire plot is facing a new charge after an inmate was stabbed at the Vanderburgh County Jail.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEVV) — An Evansville man who was recently sentenced to several decades for murder is being charged with a new crime after authorities say he stabbed another inmate in jail.

An officer at the jail said they let Daniel Alvey use their pen to fill out a medical slip on Sunday, but that Alvey refused to give the pen back.

After being threatened with pepper spray, the officer said that Alvey became compliant and threw the pen out.

At that point, Alvey and another inmate who was with him began threatening the jail officer, according to an affidavit.

The affidavit says that after about 15 minutes, Alvey and the other inmate began to constantly push the emergency button, and Alvey threatened to stab the other inmate.

As another jail officer was headed to the area to help, Alvey stabbed the other inmate with an ink pen, the affidavit says.

Authorities say the injured inmate was removed from the cell, and that they had four puncture wounds on their arm.

Earlier in May, Alvey was sentenced to 45 years after pleading guilty to charges including murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and attempted murder.

Alvey now faces a felony battery charge for the stabbing at the jail.
