What WFIE reported
A woman was assaulted and left with serious injuries at a home on South Caborn Road in southern Posey County early on Sunday, November 1, 2026, according to WFIE 14 News[1]. Posey County deputies were sent to the home shortly after 2:30 a.m. after a caller said they were worried about the woman. The woman told deputies she had a restraining order against the suspect.
Deputies searched for the suspect with help from Black Township Fire and Rescue, which used thermal drones, and a Vanderburgh County K-9. WFIE reported that deputies arrested a 31-year-old Evansville man at about 4:57 a.m. in a field near Carson School Road and Lower Mount Vernon Road.
He faces charges of Level 3 burglary, Level 3 robbery, Level 6 domestic battery, invasion of privacy, and criminal mischief. Charges are allegations, and he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. The investigation is ongoing.
What Should Accident Victims Do Next?
If another person has hurt you, get medical care and keep records of your treatment and bills. A practical guide to preserving evidence for an Indiana injury claim explains why organized records matter.
If a protective order is in place, keep a copy and report any violation to police right away. Victim advocates through the prosecutor's office and local domestic violence programs can help with safety planning and the criminal case. When you are ready to discuss the civil side, you can prepare for a consultation by reviewing what records to bring to an injury consultation.
Why Location Matters in Indiana Injury Claims
This incident happened at a home in Posey County, and Posey County deputies are investigating. A civil case is usually filed in the county where the injury happened or where a defendant lives. A civil claim is separate from the criminal case and does not depend on its outcome.
Most Indiana injury claims must be filed within two years under Ind. Code 34-11-2-4. Indiana divides fault among those involved under Ind. Code 34-51-2-6. You can read more about Indiana injury claim deadlines and the state's comparative fault rule. The correct deadline and legal rules depend on the facts of the individual case.
