How to deal with nuisance wild animals Nuisance wild animals are a common problem in the spring, and Hoosiers have several options for dealing with them. People can always call a licensed wild animal control company. For the name of a licensed company, visit dnr.IN.gov/fishwild/2351.htm. Hoosier landowners or tenants also can trap and release or kill raccoons, skunks, opossums, squirrels, beavers, muskrats, minks, long-tailed weasels, and foxes on their own property without a permit if these animals are damaging that property. Live traps for capturing animals can be purchased from garden-supply or home improvement stores. Be careful when livetrapping wild animals in the spring because they may have young. If the animal is to be released after capture, it must be released in the county of capture and cannot be kept as a pet, sold, traded or given to another person. Releasing wild animals on a city, county or state property may be illegal or require written permission; contact proper officials before releasing wild animals on public property. To keep wild animals from becoming a nuisance, DNR wildlife officials recommend the following:
Pick up dog and cat food at night and keep birdfeeders out of the reach of wild animals or bring in birdfeeders at night. Install a commercial chimney cap made of sheet metal and heavy screen. Repair soffits to prevent access to attics, and install strong, metal vent covers. Prune tree limbs at least 10 feet away from the roof. Buy heavy metal garbage cans with lockable lids; otherwise, keep garbage cans indoors as much as possible. Install metal skirting around the bottoms of decks. Provide shelter structures for fish in ornamental ponds and water gardens; cover the pond during the night with metal screening. Nuisance Canada geese also can create problems in the spring when nesting. You can oil the eggs of Canada geese or remove their nests after registering with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. A link to the USFWS goose egg and nest destruction registration page is available at dnr.IN.gov/fishwild. Pond owners experiencing problems with otters should contact their district wildlife biologist for more information or to request a special control permit.

NMPD investigating sexual assault on Manchester University campus Police Chief Jeff Perry recently confirmed that, on Monday, April 15, at approximately 12:55 a.m., a Manchester University (MU) student reported being sexually assaulted in the Schwalm Hall parking lot on the North Manchester campus. According to Chief Perry, it is not his policy to release the victim’s name in cases such as this. He also stated that the forensic nurse examined the victim, and they are still awaiting the results of that examination. Since the incident, both the North Manchester Police Department (NMPD) and the MU Department of Campus Safety have opened their respective phone lines, 260-982-8555 and 260-982-5999, in search of any information that could help identify the person responsible for this crime. Thus far, everyone the NMPD has questioned, regarding potential involvement in the incident, has produced a verified alibi, Chief Perry said. At this time, the NMPD is continuing to explore possible leads and follow up on any tips that are provided with regards to the case. In addition to the two contact numbers previously listed, a Confidential Tip Line (260-982-5995) is available for individuals to contribute information anonymously.
Spring Drug Take Back event a success The Indiana State Police participated in the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) sixth Drug Take Back Event, which resulted in Hoosiers across Indiana dropping off unwanted prescription drugs. The first DEA Drug Take Back Event took place in September 2010 and resulted in 2.4 tons of drugs being dropped off for disposal. The results are in for the most recent Drug Take Back event from Saturday, April 27, and resulted in 11.5 tons of drugs being dropped off. Indiana State Police drop off locations contributed 1,875.5 pounds to the state wide total. The Indiana State Police has partnered with the DEA in each Drug Take Back event. This popular public service event helps reduce the improper disposal of unwanted prescription drugs by providing an alternative to flushing down the toilet, placement in regular trash or leaving them in the home and susceptible to unintended or illegal use.
