Man Admits He's 'Tennis Shoes' Robber By DIANA LAMIRAND Star Staff Reporter One of the four Muncie men arrested by county police on burglary charges Friday night admitted to being the Reebok tennis shoes robber who struck a couple of weeks ago in the Granville Park Addition, near the Muncie Mall. Allen W. Karnes, 20, Lot 133 Jackson Mobile Home Park, admitted to police that he was one of the two men who held six juveniles at gunpoint and stole their Reebok shoes, according to Delaware County Investigator Clarence Brooks. The two robbers accosted the juveniles, ranging in age from 12 to 16, in the neighborhood of Dunn Avenue, Linda Layne and Pine Street the night of Sept. 9.

Karnes also was charged with one count of possession of stolen property, minor consuming alcohol and minor in possession of alcohol. He was held in the Delaware County Jail Saturday night under $13,000 bond.

Brooks said police found pills, later identified as Tylox, a narcotic analgesic combination, when they searched Herbert. He is accused of burglarizing four houses within the last week. Two of the houses were near Albany, one near Daleville and the other just south of Muncie. Brooks said police believed Herbert was carrying a revolver when he committed two of the burglaries.

Lane B. Fouchey, 23, 585 Wilson also was charged with all four burglaries. He was held under, $40,000 bond, and Herbert was held under $68,000 bond. Ronald J. Vorhees, 18, 2609 N.

Brooks said Vorhees reportedly was not involved in the first burglary.

He said investigators were looking for another Muncie man in connection with that burglary. Police nabbed Herbert, Vorhees and Karnes as they were getting gasoline at Swifty Oil Co. at 2410 S. Madison St. about 11 p.m.

Friday. Fouchey had turned himself over to police about 8:30 p.m. Brooks said police found a stolen handgun, tools and other items inside the car. Delaware County Capt. Jerry Cook said fingerprints left at the scene of the burglaries were picked up and processed by Sgt.

Guns, knives, jewelry and money were among the items stolen from the four houses, Brooks said. "It was stuff they could get rid of pretty quick," he said. Cook said police received a couple of tips from unidentified callers who told them the pair was driving along South Madison Street Friday night.

PARSON MORTUARY Muncie Albany SEPTEMBER 27, 1987 Decision Said 'Pretty Much Made' to Move Courts to New Structure Delaware County Auditor Jerry Thornburg says the decision has "pretty much been made" to place all five county courts, the prosecutor's office and a filing office for the county clerk on the first floor of the proposed public safety complex. Thornburg, the county commissioners' liaison on the project, said courts and their related offices would be the best use of space originally planned for city police. The complex would become a justice center, according to Thornburg.

But all of the bugs have not been worked out. "Right now the plans are in a state of flux," Thornburg said. County judges, represented by Superior Court 1 Judge Robert Barnet and local lawyers, represented by attorney Donald Dunnuck, were meeting with architects in an effort to create a floor plan to everyone's satisfaction, Thornburg said. Thornburg said it also was likely the county building and the complex would be connected by a tunnel. The proposed building would be built at the northeast corner of High and Washington streets north of the county building.

Thornburg said a tunnel below Washington Street would permit Indiana Gas Co. to treat both structures as one building. said the county would then qualify as a high volume user and thereby receive a lower rate for gas use. Over several years, Thornburg said, the savings in utility costs would more than cover the cost of the tunnel. The final decision rests with the county commissioners, but at least one commissioner is unsure how to make judgments about the project until a portion of a federal court order issued last week has been clarified.

Commissioner Ronald Quakenbush said Friday that U.S. District Court Judge Sarah Evans Barker's admonishment not to do anything to intentionally slow the project, including casting a negative vote on proposals that would lead to its construction, had left him unsure of what action commissioners could take. The order came after several status conferences on the case between the judge and attorneys involved in a 1978 lawsuit over conditions at the county jail. Local officials agreed to build the By DAVID PENTICUFF Star Staff Reporter complex as part of a settlement entered in federal court as a means of resolving unconstitutional conditions in the jail. Officials signed that agreement in 1984, but a taxpayers' lawsuit and indecision by local officials has slowed the progress of the project.

The order from Barker threatens contempt proceedings against commissioners and county council members if they willingly do anything to throw the project off of a timetable prepared by Fergus Kear, commissioners' attorney in the case. That timetable has construction of the complex beginning in midApril. Kear and his clients have been at odds over the project. The attorney has accused commissioners of playing politics. Commissioners have said they are simply tired of the controversy.

Rumors circulating in the county building late last week suggested that Quakenbush and Commissioner Doyle Bell would attempt to fire Kear during their regular commissioners' meeting Monday. "I heard the same rumor," said Lawrence R. (Sparky) Walsh, president of the board of commissioners. Walsh said he would have to abstain from such a vote. "That may be a dumb idea, but I haven't had a chance to talk to them about it," Walsh said.

"Now we're coming down to the end, it would be a helluva time to be changing Both Bell and denied they had such plans. "I have some opinions though," said Quakenbush. He declined to say what those opinions were. "I don't want to get accused of contempt of court," he said. Kear said he wrote an initial draft of Barker's order along with the timetables, but he stressed that the order had undergone several changes during the status conferences with Barker before she signed her name to it.

The order places much of the decision-making for the complex into Barker's hands. Walsh indicated that while he didn't think he would vote to fire Kear, he could sympathize with those who might want to see him off of the case. "I don't like him any more than they do," Walsh said.
