The past few months have been a roller coaster of events for Mayor Tim Humphries.  The ups and downs of his role as Mayor of Carlisle have been a whirl wind to follow.  In spite of heading and helping with some interesting projects around town starting with the Indian Path.  The Indian Path if you have drove by the schools and the City Building is the path students can take safely to get to the stores across 123.  The path is marked by signs and during warmer weather the Mayor was helping along with other residents and business leaders of Carlisle as traffic monitors to keep our students safe.  Other items that have been brought to our attention that the Mayor has been working on is getting a drop box oustide of the City Building so residents do not have to get out of their car to drop off bills, paperwork, etc.  These are a few of the positives that our Mayor has been working on with others to improve different things in the City of Carlisle.

On the flip side, the downs of the past few months on the roller coaster have included a computer being confiscated and what some media outlets are calling a road rage incident that brought Mayor Tim Humphries up on many charges last week.  There has been no official word on the computer and what the FBI has found or not found on the office computer of our Mayor. But now, with the new charges against Tim Humphries, Attorney, Jon Rion, is representing him and thinking things are "very unusual" with all the charges.

Humphries agreed to a 5:30 p.m. Jan. 12 preliminary hearing and pretrial conference with Judge Rupert Ruppert in Franklin Municipal Court.  So things are not finished by any means stay tuned....

Mayor rips road rage charges...

This weekend the City of Carlisle read the news of Mayor Tim Humphries city owned computer and other items being seized by the Carlisle Police Department by many media outlets.  Yesterday, the publicity stretched further into the world of Television News.  The trucks, lights, and reporters were the talk of town as WLWT, Channel 5 was out in the city building their story.  We have talked to a few people who were asked questions about the mayor outside of the gas stations and if you saw the video (link at bottom) a few business owners where asked of their opinion of the story.

Here is the timeline thus far generated from several reports in the media:

City of Carlisle Police was informed about possible content by phone call lead.

October 17th Investigation begins

November 5th: 
Search Warrant issued to Mayor Tim Humphries to seize computer and contents
City of Carlisle Police Department seize computer from City Offices.

November 13th:
Mayor Tim Humphries denied any knowledge of the search warrant to media.
Police Chief Tim Boggess states to different media outlets he personally served Humphries the warrant on November 5th.

As of today:
No charges have been pressed.
Computer and contents are at FBI forensic computer laboratory.
Police Chief Tim Boggess expects to hear from FBI this week.
Inappropriate content has not been identified the information and warrant was sealed by courts.

This is not giving the City of Carlisle the greatest of all press.  It is not the greatest of all stories with all the great publicity we have received with the State Playoff Indian football team.  It is also coming off one of the biggest voter response this past election in a non-presidential election.

We will keep the city up to date with news on this as we get it.
