GARY
Man accused of
stealing medication
A Glen Park woman with several medical problems told police her son’s friend stole codeine pills and tranquilizers from her home Oct. 7.
Timothy L. Pompy, 22, of 1516 E. 43rd Place, is charged with theft. An arrest warrant has been issued for him.
The victim told Sgt. Freddie Cook that Pompy was at her home when she left and when she returned, her medication was gone.
Man assaults woman holding her baby
Police arrested a South Bend man charged with assaulting the mother of his child at her home Tuesday.
Robert D. Brown, 27, is charged with three counts of felony domestic battery, criminal confinement and resisting law enforcement.
Cpl. Anthony Hawkins and Patrolman Angel Lozano responded to the victim’s house and saw Brown walking toward them with a large kitchen knife.
When Brown didn’t drop the knife, Lozano used his stun gun on the man.
The victim told Detective Jennifer Powell she discovered her gas money was missing and when she asked Brown about it, he began hitting her as she held her baby. Her other child was in the room when the assault occurred, court records state.
Felon with handgun gets six years
Lake Superior Court Judge Diane Ross Boswell sentenced a 51-year-old Gary man to six years in prison for unlawful possession of a handgun by a serious violent felon.
Terry Lee Perkins, who pleaded guilty to the charge in July, admitted he had a .22-caliber pistol in his coat pocket when Gary police were called on May 8, 2010, to the home of a woman with whom he was arguing.
Prosecutors dismissed a habitual offender sentencing enhancement.
The handgun charge is punishable by a sentence of six to 20 years.
