Troopers deployed K-9 units during the patrol, which was designed to identify impaired drivers, aggressive driving behaviors, criminal activity, and ensure compliance among commercial motor vehicles. Officers also provided assistance to motorists experiencing difficulties on the roadways.

The focused enforcement resulted in a significant number of citations and arrests. A total of 57 traffic citations were issued alongside 146 warnings. Indiana State Police troopers made 15 criminal arrests, including one for Operating While Intoxicated (OWI). Four K-9 unit searches led to the arrest of an individual on methamphetamine-related charges.

Beyond enforcement actions, troopers assisted 25 stranded motorists and conducted six commercial motor vehicle inspections, with one vehicle deemed unsafe and taken out of service.

“Directed patrols such as this allow troopers to focus resources where they can have the greatest impact on public safety,” stated a spokesperson for the Indiana State Police. The department emphasized its commitment to proactive enforcement strategies.

Motorists are reminded to adhere to all traffic laws, avoid impaired driving, and remain vigilant while navigating work zones and high-traffic areas. The Indiana State Police Pendleton District plans to continue these targeted patrols throughout the coming month.

The Indiana State Police have announced a partnership with the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) to participate in CVSA’s annual Human Trafficking Awareness Initiative, January 12-16, 2026. The initiative focuses on leveraging commercial motor vehicle drivers to identify potential human trafficking situations.

During the initiative, ISP’s Commercial Vehicle Enforcement (CVE) units will engage with CMV drivers during routine roadside inspections. These interactions include distributing informational materials from Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT). CVSA’s Human Trafficking Awareness Initiative is being conducted across North America: the United States, January 12-16, 2026; Canada, February 23-27, 2026; and Mexico, March 16-20, 2026.

According to the United Nations, human trafficking involves the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of people through force, fraud, or deception for exploitation.

The CVSA notes that commercial motor vehicle drivers are often in locations where human trafficking may occur, including truck stops and rest areas. Over 40% of reported human trafficking cases involving victims identified by truck drivers have involved minors.

The Human Trafficking Awareness Initiative is a component of CVSA’s broader Human Trafficking Prevention Program, which seeks to reduce trafficking through coordinated enforcement, investigation, and awareness measures within the commercial motor vehicle industry. CVSA collaborates with TAT to engage and educate the trucking sector. Approximately 2.5 million professionals in the trucking industry have received training from TAT.

Additional information regarding human trafficking awareness, recognition, and prevention is available on CVSA’s Human Trafficking Resources page.

NEW ALBANY, Ind. — An off-duty Indiana State Police trooper arrested two individuals for shoplifting at a Home Depot in New Albany on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, after bystanders reported the theft.

At approximately 12:55 p.m., off-duty Trooper Philip Hensley parked in his marked police vehicle at the State Street Home Depot and was approached by multiple individuals who reported a man and woman had stolen items and were loading them into a red Ford F150. Hensley observed the suspects, identified as Carl Edward Estelle Jr., 66, and Casey Tysha Billingsley, 46, both of Louisville, Kentucky, placing items in the truck.

Hensley activated his emergency lights, approached the vehicle, and detained Estelle. His ensuing investigation involved discussions with Estelle, Billingsley, and store employees and a review of surveillance video. He also observed three 30-inch interior slab doors and construction equipment in the truck, allegedly taken without payment.

A records check revealed Billingsley had active warrants from Clark County, Indiana, for possession of paraphernalia and false informing, and from Louisville Metro Police for shoplifting. A search of her purse revealed a ceramic smoking device with burnt residue and three prescription pill bottles containing non-prescribed medications.

Estelle was charged with theft and lodged in the Floyd County Jail. Billingsley was charged with theft, three counts of possession of a legend drug, and possession of paraphernalia with a prior conviction, and was also lodged in the Floyd County Jail.
