Carl Roy Webb Boards II, the man charged with the murder of Elwood Officer Noah Shahnavaz, has withdrawn his planned insanity defense. Boards testified last Tuesday in Madison Circuit Court Division 3 that he made the decision to withdraw the defense strategy, acknowledging it will be difficult to raise a similar defense strategy later on.

Attorney General Todd Rokita is alerting Hoosiers to important consumer protection concerns for products recalled in March. The office is encouraging consumers to take advantage of opportunities available to them to return, fix, dispose, or replace a purchased recalled item that could be harmful to their families. “The biggest concern of any parent is the safety and wellbeing of their children,” Attorney General Rokita said. “You might think you’re getting a good deal, but if you invest in a flawed product, it could lead to a devastating disaster. If you have purchased one of these recalled products, stop using it immediately and pursue resolution from the manufacturer.”

The Elwood Board of Works and Public Safety met Monday evening for a regular meeting at the Municipal Building. Following roll call, the board approved minutes from the previous meeting March 3, and the public hearing held March 17.
