Area attorney charged with theft

By Leila Kheiry and Ann Marie Shambaugh leila@youarecurrent.com annmarie@youarecurrent.com

An attorney retained by the family of a teenager who died in a March 1, 2025, vehicle crash in Fishers faces a felony theft charge for allegedly going to the tow yard and taking what he believed to be the “black box” from the 2016 BMW involved in the accident, along with other items.

James David Masur II also was charged in June 2025 with two misdemeanors — criminal mischief and unauthorized entry of a vehicle.

In the probable cause affidavit filed in court, Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office law enforcement officer Randy Dings wrote that the incident came to their attention when an uncle of Mason Alexander — the teenager who was killed in the accident — contacted the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office to inform them that property from driver Trey Williams’ vehicle may have been improperly taken.

The uncle told Dings that about a week after the crash, Masur allegedly contacted him and said he had tried to go to the tow yard but wasn’t able to enter.

“(The uncle) stated that (Masur) called him wanting him to go with him to the tow yard to obtain the vehicle’s ‘black box,’” Dings wrote. “(The uncle) stated he at first refused to go and questioned (Masur) of (the) legality of doing so. (The uncle) stated that (Masur) assured him it was OK to do so and because (Masur) was an attorney, (the uncle) trusted his opinion and went with him to the tow lot.”

The uncle told Dings that he and Masur enlisted the help of a tow company

employee to help them remove what they believed to be the black box, along with other items. “During the course of my investigation, it was determined that (Masur) was in possession of the owner’s manual, the vehicle’s TCB2, a battery for the TCB2, a roof-mounted antenna and a bag mask valve that came off or out of the 2016 BMW belonging to Jeffery Williams (Trey Williams’ father) that was being stored … after being involved in a fatal traffic crash on (March 1, 2025),” Dings wrote.

Masur allegedly gave those items to Mason Alexander’ mother about two months later. Dings wrote that he contacted Williams’ attorney, who confirmed they did not give Masur permission to access the vehicle.

Dings added that he talked with Masur, who admitted going with the uncle to the tow yard and removing the items from the vehicle. He told Dings that the items were kept in his office until he handed them over to the victim’s mother.

Local attorney Mario Massillimany, former general counsel with the Marion County Prosecutors Office, said that typically, if a victim’s family hires an attorney to represent their interests, they send a letter to ensure that evidence, such as a black box, is preserved.

“They wouldn’t themselves go out and try to recoup that black box themselves,” he said. “Additionally, by trying to recover that black box themselves, they’ve really hurt what’s called chain of custody. It’s to show that nothing has been done to alter that black box with information that could be used by the family to bring a civil suit against Trey Williams’ parents and also the insurance company, so he’s really jeopardized

their chances on a civil case.”

Massillimany added that the charges against Masur won’t affect the criminal case against Trey Williams — who is scheduled to be sentenced April 14 — but it could leave Alexander’s family members open to criminal charges for assisting in the alleged theft and allegedly receiving stolen property.

John Lowes, chief deputy with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, agreed that the incident left the family members open to potential charges, but he’s not aware of any pending investigation — especially after they were the ones who approached law enforcement with information about the matter.

Lowes said the case is unusual, noting that it’s reasonable for people to assume an attorney would provide proper legal advice.

“It’s just really important that people follow the right procedures, like reaching out to the agency, if they have questions or are looking for information,” he said. “They can always do a records request and try to find out information. Or if a criminal case is filed, they can always, through discovery, get information that’s evidence-based … There are channels in place for people to get that information or to get that type of evidence.”

Lowes added that the vehicle already had been processed for evidence and no longer had a law-enforcement hold on it, but it was still illegal to remove pieces without permission.

Massillimany said Masur, if convicted, could face disbarment for malpractice. A pretrial hearing in the case is scheduled for July 7, with a tentative jury trial set for July 15.

At the time of publication, Masur had not responded to messages seeking comment.

Fishers board OKs new developments

By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com

A new Holiday Inn on Kinkaid Drive off I-69 and a four-story multifamily development near the Fishers Event Center are both moving forward following a review and approval March 4 by the Fishers Planned Unit Development Committee.

Plans for the Holiday Inn at the

intersection of 106th Street and Kinkaid Drive call for a four-story, 49,000-square-foot hotel with 89 rooms. The petitioner, Ravi Patel, worked with city staff on the building’s parking plans and received a variance to reduce parking from 103 spaces to 89, according to information provided by the City of Fishers.

The Crossing Lofts is a 275-unit residential development on Stockdale

Street that also offers about 10,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space. Planning Director Ross Hilleary told the committee that the development, built on a 4-acre lot, will include an access-controlled, gated, internal parking garage for residents.

The next PUD Committee meeting is set for 5 p.m. April 1 at the Fishers Municipal Center.

Thoroughfare plan OK’d

By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com

An update to the City of Fishers thoroughfare plan — which focuses on roadways throughout the community — was reviewed and approved March 4 by the Fishers Plan Commission. The update will go to the Fishers City Council for final approval.

The update includes:

• Intersection improvements at 141st Street and Trade Center Drive

#GetScreened

• Intersection improvements at 131st Street and Britton Park Road

• Connections between Meadows Drive and Lantern Road

• Roundabout at 141st Street and Howe Road

• Intersection improvements at 116th Street and Klotz Farm Boulevard

• Various Brooks School Road corridor updates, including roundabouts and intersection improvements

• Connections between 134th Street and 136th Street; and Minden Drive & Olio Road in Saxony

• Intersection improvements at Olio Road and Olivia Way

Planning and Zoning Director Ross Hilleary also updated the committee on the timeline for the 116th Street and Allisonville intersection project.

“This was intended to be a roundabout, (but) that is no longer going to be a roundabout — we are making intersection improvements here (with) longer queuing lanes,” he said, noting that the project has an anticipated October completion date. “This project will not see any intersection closures, so it will be open this entire time.”

There were no speakers during a public hearing on the plan update.

The next Fishers Plan Commission meeting is set for 6 p.m. April 1 at Fishers Municipal Center.

Meet candidates running for new Court 9 seat

By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com

Republicans Christopher Barrows, a Hamilton County court commissioner, Sarah Shields, a Hamilton County magistrate, and attorney Paul C. Sweeney are running for the Hamilton Superior Court 9 judge seat in the May 5 primary election. The newly established court begins Jan. 1, 2027.

WHY ARE YOU RUNNING?

Barrows: I have found that being a lawyer, mediator, arbitrator, guardian ad litem and judicial officer is a calling for me. I want to use the experience I have gained to continue serving Hamilton County. The best way for me to serve is as judge of Superior 9.

Sweeney: Service. Carmel gave my family a fresh start after my parents’ divorce. After more than 35 years of volunteering, serving as a youth minister and 29 years practicing law, I’m running to become the first judge of Hamilton Superior Court 9 — giving back to the community that gave so much to me.

Shields: I’m currently a Hamilton County magistrate appointed by our elected judges. I love the work I do and wish to serve our community as a judge with my own courtroom and staff. I have well-established relationships throughout the county and am ready for the challenge of building a new court.

WHAT SETS YOU APART?

Barrows: 27 years in Hamilton County courtrooms — the last four years on the bench presiding over Hamilton County’s Child Support Court as court commissioner. That court has a high volume docket with all the administrative duties of a full court.

Sweeney: Perseverance. I’m a magna cum laude IU McKinney law graduate, Martindale Hubbell AV-Preeminent

rated attorney, Best Lawyers in America honoree (2022–present) and senior counsel at Ice Miller.

Shields: As a magistrate, I’m on the bench every day and have presided over every type of case that could be filed in Superior 9: criminal, civil and family law — initial hearings through jury trial. My training and experience make me ready to run a new court on day one.

WHAT ARE YOUR TOP THREE CAMPAIGN ISSUES?

Barrows: That Superior 9 be ready on Day 1 to serve the legal concerns of the county; be fair and efficient, and that all parties be treated with civility and respect; and be led by experience, integrity and strong community roots.

Sweeney: Innovation: Optimize caseload management Outreach: Strengthen the court’s ties to businesses, schools and underserved communities; Prevention: Expand problem-solving courts, including establishing a much-needed mental health court.

Shields: My vision for Superior 9 is to build a court that is efficient, fiscally responsible and provides access to justice for all.

WHAT DO YOU MOST WANT VOTERS TO KNOW ABOUT YOU?

Barrows: As a lifetime resident, I and my family love the opportunities and enrichment provided by Hamilton County. I have been able to serve as youth coach, guardian ad litem for children in court, volunteer in the community and on boards like the Westfield Youth Assistance Program and Westfield Education Foundation.

Sweeney: Character. I am a son of God, husband, father and 40-year Hoosier by choice. As a youth minister, theater volunteer and advocate for domestic violence shelters/solutions and legal desert reform, my life outside the courtroom reflects the same servant leadership I will bring to the bench.

Shields: I’m a magistrate, mom and Hamilton County native. As an appointed judicial officer, I’ve earned the trust of our elected judges. As a candidate, I’m working to earn the trust of our voters. I am honored to serve our county and ready to lead a new court.

HSE senior forward finishes career on upswing

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Hamilton Southeastern High School senior forward Luke Weemer became a major scoring threat this season.

“Our coaching staff really felt that Luke was a matchup nightmare for our opponents,” Royals boys basketball coach Bobby Allen said. “He could score inside for us when we needed to isolate him on the block, and he also was one of our best perimeter shooters on the season. I think his consistency late in the year was a big reason why we finished the (regular) season on a seven-game winning streak.”

The Royals topped Westfield 68-61 in a Class 4A sectional opener for an eighth consecutive victory before losing March 6 to No. 1 Fishers 75-65 in the sectional semifinals.

The 6-foot-6 Weemer averaged 13.7 points per game on 54 percent shooting. Senior Landon Osswald led the team in

“I think where I made the most improvement this season was definitely my mental side of things,” Weemer said. “I was much more poised under pressure. I also became a bigger leader stepping into my senior year.”

“(Weemer’s) focus and poise really showed the second half of the season,” Allen said. “For all of our seniors, I think it was a challenge, listening to new coaches and learning a new system, but they deserve a lot of credit for sticking with the process and really learning what it takes to win games against one of the toughest schedules in the state. I think Luke embraced the challenge, and he was a great leader for us this season. We will definitely miss him next year, but I think he was a great example for our young players that will

look to fill his shoes.”

Weemer said it took time to get used to the new coaching staff, but the team was in rhythm during the winning streak. Weemer, whose favorite high school memory was beating Carmel during the winning streak, shot 38 percent from 3-point range.

“Luke has a very confident game when it comes to his perimeter shooting, but his IQ for the game is growing,” Allen said. “We ran a lot of our set plays through him. We liked to get him the ball around the elbow where he then had the ability to read and react and make decisions for our team based on how our opponents were defending us.”

Weemer will play for NCAA Division II Emporia State University in Kansas next season.

Weemer’s older brother, Payton, played his senior season at Fishers High School after the family moved from Illinois. Payton is a junior on the Grand Valley State University basketball team. Weemer’s father, Steve Weemer, played basketball at Eastern Illinois University, and his mother, Megan, played tennis at Western Illinois University.

Candidate ‘motivated’ to run again in 5th District

By Todd Golden todd@youarecurrent.com

Carmel resident Deborah A. Pickett has filed to run for Indiana’s 5th Congressional District seat. Republican Victoria Spartz is the incumbent. Pickett, a Democrat, ran unsuccessfully against Spartz for the seat in 2024. Spartz received 56.6 percent of the vote and Pickett received 38 percent.

“I was motivated to run again because my constituents are hurting and feeling the pain of a chaotic year,” Pickett said. “I feel a great desire to restore order, integrity, decency and competence in Congress. For the past year, we have seen an administration run roughshod over the Constitution, violate laws, grab authority from Congress, insult and threaten allies, withdraw from critical treaties, impose punitive tariffs, and dismantle and defund important agencies and programs.”

Pickett is in a crowded Democratic primary that includes Steve Avit, J.D. Ford, Jackson Franklin, Phil Goss, Dylan McKenna and Tara Nelson. Spartz faces Scott A. King in the Republican primary.

The primary election is May 5.

“It is exciting to see all the candidates. It is democracy at its best and it shows that lots of people are unhappy with U.S. Rep. Spartz,” Pickett said.

Pickett said “it’s imperative to restore funding and to rebuild government agencies with knowledgeable and experienced people.”

Pickett said her policy initiatives include long-term funding for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid; humane immigration reform; a regulatory framework for technological innovations; well-funded medical and scientific research; and restoration of environmental protections for public health, among others.

Nelson eyes 5th district seat

By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com

Carmel resident Tara Nelson, a Democrat, has filed to run for Indiana’s 5th Congressional District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Nelson will face State Sen. J.D. Ford, Steven Avitabile Avit, Jackson Franklin, Phil Goss, Dylan McKenna and Deborah A Pickett in the May 5 Democratic primary election.

consistently seeing (President Donald) Trump and his administration violate the Constitution repeatedly, and I think we need someone in office who is going to impeach him and hold his cabinet accountable.”

“To me, (the number of candidates) shows that they’re paying attention to what’s going on, and they also feel passionate about needing to see a change in Washington,” Nelson said. “I’m really glad to see other candidates on the ballot. I honestly would love to see more.”

Nelson ran unsuccessfully for Congress 14 years ago in Indiana’s 4th District against Republican Todd Rokita.

“I’ve been thinking about running for Congress since last fall,” Nelson said. “I honestly was hoping something would change where I wouldn’t need to run for office again, but I am

Nelson said her campaign will focus on impeaching Trump along with immigration and health care reform.

“I feel like what’s going on right now with immigration is completely horrifying to see — more warehouses are being bought with our tax dollars for continual inhumane treatment of immigrants, and really just anyone who’s being kidnapped. I think the people are not the problem — the process is a problem. It shouldn’t take 15 years to get citizenship.”

Nelson is an IT director in the finance industry. She has previously worked for a pharmaceutical company, on global transformation programs and at the Department of Child Services and Department of Revenue.

McKenna runs for 5th district

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

Dylan McKenna can point to two events in the last year that inspired him to run for Congress.

The Westfield resident had asked a question at a late March 2025 town hall held by U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz, a Republican, and left “totally unsatisfied with the answer” and “shocked at the way she talked to her constituents.” He began considering a campaign for her seat.

McKenna, a 1987 Cathedral High School graduate, said his campaign will focus on improving economic conditions for working families, health care affordability and addressing corruption among federally elected officials trading on inside information.

Then, in January, after a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fatally shot Renee Good in Minneapolis, McKenna felt compelled to jump into Indiana’s 5th District Congressional race.

“I looked around and said, ‘This is really, really bad. This is an emergency,’” said McKenna, a Democrat. “I couldn’t just be a casual observer anymore. It was one of those situations where you’re like, ‘Can I live with myself if I don’t try to do something?’”

“I find it personally appalling,” McKenna said. “If I’m fortunate enough to get elected, I’ll be working very hard to make sure that anyone from the president on down has to put all their assets in a blind trust, and they can’t be taking advantage of a public position for personal gain.”

McKenna said he’s a “firm believer that leadership comes from service” and that all people should be treated with dignity and respect.

“The country works best when neighbors are helping each other. Take how you want to live among your neighbors, the kindness you show them when they’re in need, and expand that outward and try to imagine the nation as your neighborhood,” McKenna said. For more, visit mckenna4congress.com

LIVING HISTORY

Indian Creek Elementary School recreates Revolutionary War experience

By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com

As the U.S.A. celebrates its 250th anniversary this year, Indian Creek Elementary School fifth-graders experienced a little of what life was like for Revolutionary War soldiers and their families during the school’s annual Valley Forge Day — an ongoing tradition for nearly 30 years.

Although the entire school gets involved, teacher Steve Hardwick is the organizing energy behind the special day, which this year was in mid-February. He said the popular event was inspired by a children’s book, “The Winter of Red Snow” by Kristiana Gregory, a story told through the fictional diary of an 11-year-old girl.

“From that book, we created our Valley Forge Day to make the book come to life or take the kids back in time,” he said, adding that different “stations” inside and outside the school connect to the school’s curriculum. “And these stations also match what the kids are reading in the book about the young girl who lives at Valley Forge with her family (when) Washington’s army comes in and is there for six months.”

Indoor stations included a room where students learned to darn stockings; a surgery area that reenactors made as fun as possible with mock amputations; and “Mrs. Washington’s Kitchen,” where students wearing tricorn hats and ruffled caps over their hoodies made stewed apples, churned butter, sifted flour and rolled out pie dough.

Teacher Jennifer Schlotter was among the grownups leading activities in the kitchen — along with volunteers from the local Daughters of the American Revolution. She said the stewed apples were for George Washington’s cake, which the kids sampled.

The day is fun for everyone, Schlotter said, but it’s also a great learning tool.

“It actually allows the kids to become part of the learning,” she said. “Children learn by doing, and by having them do this, they now have a better understanding of what the soldiers went through.”

Schlotter added that many volunteers who help with Valley Forge Day every year are former students who enjoyed the experience so much as kids that they want to come back and make it memorable for the next generation.

Logan Drook, 15, now a freshman at Lawrence North High School, is one of those former Indian Creek students who returned as a volunteer. He said he enjoyed Valley Forge Day when he was a fifth-grader.

“We learned from the books and stuff, but to come out here just showed us what it was all like and the

real gravity of the situation,” he said. “The cannons — so cool to see in real life — and the fire pit, to actually taste the food they were tasting, and to see what the guns were like. And our year, when we did it, there was a bunch of snow, so we had to walk through the snow. You had to break the ice on the lake to get the water like they would. It’s very eye-opening.”

Hardwick, who oversaw the three outdoor stations, is a member of a reenactment group and has recruited volunteers from that group to help “train” the fifth-graders how to march and start a fire with flint, demonstrate muskets and cannons, and talk about how soldiers survived at Valley Forge.

“Some are retired scientists. Some are retired from the state emergency management for the state of Indiana. Some are retired teachers,” he said. “One gentleman, Bob Jones, is on the board for the Old Fort up in Fort Wayne — he used to be a teacher, as well. So, a lot of people who have an interest in not only science and education and learning, but bringing history to life, because they grew up loving history.”

Geist-area resident Max Michael is one of the reenactors who returns every year for Valley Forge Day. He said Hardwick deserves a lot of credit for making the event come to life every year.

“We have people from all over Indiana come to volunteer,” Michael said. “We have soldiers here from … South Bend, Plainfield and throughout central Indiana, as well. So, really quite a testament to Steve’s effort that everyone comes here to help him out, and how important it is to teach youngsters history.”

Michael “blamed” his daughter for initially getting him involved in Valley Forge Day — she was an Indian Creek Elementary student — but that was a long time ago. He keeps coming back because it’s a fun way to help the next generation appreciate their history.

VALLEY FORGE

Valley Forge, Penn., — now a National Historic Park — is where Gen. George Washington and the Continental Army camped during the winter of 1777-78.

According to the National Park Service, that winter wasn’t the coldest or the snowiest winter of the war, but conditions were difficult because of regular freezing and thawing, intermittent snowfall and rain, and shortages of food and clothing.

“Rather than wait for deliverance, the army procured supplies, built log cabins to stay in, constructed makeshift clothing and gear and cooked subsistence meals of their own concoction,” the NPS stated.

Soldiers received an average daily ration of a half pound of beef per person, although there was a shortage in February 1778, when they went without meat for several days at a stretch.

“Shortages of clothing did cause severe hardship for a number of men, but many soldiers had a full uniform,” according to NPS. “At the worst point in early March, the army listed 2,898 men as unfit for duty due to a lack of clothing.”

The camp housed about 12,000 soldiers, along with 400 women and children.

COMMUNITY VOICES

Mapes tried Look in the mirror

Editor,

I’m an 81-year-old grandmother with grandchildren who attended Hamilton Southeastern Schools for many years. A few years ago, I began paying closer attention to what was happening in our schools and quickly realized significant changes were needed. I started volunteering to help elect new members to our school board because I believed our district could do better.

With the election of four new board members, my hopes grew that positive change was finally coming. That optimism grew stronger in February 2024 when Patrick Mapes was unanimously hired as superintendent. It quickly became clear we had made the right choice. Important financial and personnel changes were made, and experienced professionals were brought in to help move the district forward.

Mr. Mapes addressed policies that concerned many parents and grandparents. Practices that allowed students to change pronouns at school without parental knowledge were stopped, and policies that created confusion around gender identity were reviewed and corrected. The district also moved away from disciplinary approaches like restorative justice that many believed were ineffective.

At the same time, the district refocused on academics. Test scores and literacy outcomes improved, standardized test results rose and graduation rates increased.

Mr. Mapes also launched initiatives such as “Night of Champions,” recognizing excellence in academics, athletics and the arts. The Purple Star designation expanded, open enrollment was introduced and the Innovate 2028 program was implemented to better prepare students for the future.

But, he is resigning, and many of us are left asking why. I have watched nearly every school board meeting and witnessed the conflict and division. A person can only take so much. Mr. Mapes came out of retirement to help our district. He tried — he really tried. Sadly, when leadership like this is driven away by liberals, the ones who lose the most are the kids.

Editor,

Hamilton Southeastern Schools Board Member Ben Orr has accused the community, the very people he is supposed to represent, of causing “local drama,” citing “meddling,” “undermining,” “accusations” and a “lack of trust.”

Maybe the “local drama” began when the board tried to reject millions in grant funding, despite serving under a code of ethics that requires “vigorously seeking adequate financial support for the schools.” Simultaneously, the board has ignored rising central office costs and bloated contracts awarded without the required RFP process. The new insurance brokerage alone costs $20,000 a month, up from $5,000.

Maybe the “meddling” was the board hiring a more expensive law firm and repeatedly calling them into unnecessary situations, while fees continue to climb. Meanwhile, we are constantly told the district faces a financial crisis.

Maybe the “undermining” was when board members Juanita Albright, Tiffany Pascoe and Dawn Lang appeared at the statehouse — not to

advocate for adequate funding, but to advance political agendas.

Maybe the “accusations” stem from a board majority that ignores its own obligation to refuse partisan, petty politics, instead posting inflammatory messages, limiting public comment and silencing fellow board members.

And maybe the “lack of trust” reflects months of ignored ULPs, strained negotiations with the teachers’ union and a steady erosion of respect for educators.

Maybe Ben Orr and the other board members should look in the mirror and reflect. Let us recall how he stood with a VOTE NO sign when (former superintendent) Dr. Stokes was hired, and his own campaign was full of partisan attacks and political division. If there’s a community issue, which arguably there isn’t — no line of speakers at every meeting and certainly no one is holding bright pink signs roadside — it began well before just now and he played and plays a role in it.

Making space for voices

Editor,

Like many parents in Hamilton Southeastern Schools, I’ve been following recent events in our district with concern. Public meetings, social media statements and the resignation of our superintendent have created a moment that feels unsettled for many families.

I’m not writing this as part of any organized group, and I’m not interested in joining one side of a political divide. I’m writing as a parent who cares about the culture of the community our children are growing up in.

Schools are not just places where students learn math, science and history. Academic excellence includes both what students learn in the classroom and what they observe from the adults around them. Public conversations and disagreements show students something about leadership and responsibility.

Lately, it has felt like community members are pushed into camps they never chose or discouraged from speaking. Most parents I know are not activists or political operatives. They

are neighbors who care about strong schools, responsible governance and a community where people can ask questions without being labeled or dismissed.

We should be able to raise concerns and share perspectives without being treated as opponents. Transparency and accountability are not partisan values. They are part of responsible stewardship of public institutions.

Our community benefits when leaders communicate in ways that invite people into the conversation rather than pushing them out. Hamilton Southeastern has long been a place where families move because they believe in strong schools and a strong community.

Many people are not looking for a fight. They hope to feel invited back to the table, because they care and because they matter.

Our schools belong to all of us. The best thing we can do for our children is keep showing up, listening and choosing the kind of community we want them to grow up in.

Julie Kane,

Fishers
