Russ "Inspector Clouseau" Whalen Solves the Crime of the Century ???
Seems like Sellersburg police chief Russ "Inspector Clouseau" Whalen DIDN'T solve the crime of the century after all. Citing lack of evidence and taking The BatBlog's advice Clark Co. prosecutor Jeremy Mull refused to prosecute former sheriff Danny Rodden on a prostitution charge.
Inspector Clouseau found out it isn't a crime to eat dinner with an alleged prostitute at Cracker Barrel. Trying to be THE big fish in a small pond Whelan ran to the press and TV stations with his investigation of now private citizen Rodden's private life. Though he made the 6 o'clock news the result is "The Inspector" looks rather stupid and petty.
The BatBlog is pretty sure there are more pressing crimes and police issues in Sellersburg than investigating who is eating dinner with who at a local restaurants... On the other hand congratulations are in order as Clouseau did apparently break a up a major ring of cheap "flip flop" thieves in the area.
Prosecutor Mull used common sense in denying to prosecute the case even though he wasted Whelan's time consuming, tax dollar funded and wasted , investigative work. It appears common sense though is something Russ "Inspector Clouseau" Whelan seriously lacks ...

Bat Blog Cognition!
ReplyDeleteHoosier Taxpayer, that is an excellent article!
It is even more clear now to see the distinction and class
that you have displayed in winning the Awards in the journalism field.
Kudos for recognizing
and exposing the allegedly attempted
mal political PR gig and for complimenting
the professionalism of Clark County Prosecutor Jeremy Mull.
The 'Alleged Purloined Flip Flops by the Alleged Floozie Case'
is soooo exposed!
The Bat Blog rocks!
It's all fun and games till the drug using prostitution is next door to you. Remember that he wasn't meeting her at a hotel like a normal person, he brought her to his house .
ReplyDeleteNot condoning prostitution or saying what Rodden does isn't embarrassing, but Inspector Clouseau Whalen is equally embarrassing in the way he handled this. Maybe he will start a undercover investigation (no pun intended) and catch Rodden in the act...
DeleteIf everyone who has ever availed the service of a prostitute were locked up all the jails in the world couldn't hold them.There would be a long list of respected politicians , clergy and successful people locked up as well...
Police also look the other way when prostitutes ascend on events like the Kentucky Derby...it's a dirty business but for the most part a victim less crime and police have better things to do...
I think that you're forgetting or just overlooking the fact that she had drug paraphernalia on her when she was caught. She's not just a prostitute:

Just a moron looking for his fifteen minutes.
ReplyDeleteYes, but H-T tolerates you!
DeleteHillary will be indicted. Sorry.
Easy now. Comparing him to Barney Fife is an insult to good ole Barney !
DeleteOnce again the batblog nailed it! LOl!
ReplyDeleteSmelled like a early shot fired in the next sheriff race, a little D tainting.
ReplyDelete....." this moron wasting taxpayer dollars
Deleteon something inconsequential"....
...."Barney Fife wanna be"....
....." Smelled like an early early shot fired
in the next sheriff race, a little D tainting"...
Yes. 2018.
The Bat Blog is on the trail!
There are also rumors that someone
from "the middle part of the county" was positing
themselves for a race in 2020 when the current sheriff
can't run got a third consecutive term that year....
The botched "PR Power Play" backfired.
Didn't she say that she was coming to his house? And she had syringes in her purse when she was at cracker barrel? It's easy to say that it doesn't matter until its next door to you. I think NOT investigating this would be irresponsible.
ReplyDeleteShe was arrested and charged with the drug paraphernalia...he was just eating , no evidence of prostitution...
ReplyDeleteIt's not a crime to eat with a drug addict....
She had text messages and said they met at his home. I guess since he used code that's why they couldn't find enough evidence. I don't know about you but I haven't said "hey you wanna play?" In recent years. Either Danny is into online gaming, is the Jigsaw killer, or has code phrases when he brings
DeleteHookers to his home. So Danny, if you're reading this, next time you hire a prostitute take them to a pay by the hour motel like you did the first time and keep it out of your neighborhood.
Bat Blog 'Corn Bread 'N Beans' Update!
DeleteSex workers are people too
and are not to be discriminated against.
A single person can entertain a sex worker
at their home if they so choose. It is not anyone's
place to lecture them. What happens in the privacy of one's
home is not controlled by 'Nosy Busybodies'.
Sex workers also have the right to eat delicious cornbread, ham, and beans
with pickle relish at Cracker Barrel EVEN in CRACKER Sellersburg!
It is definitely polite and 'Old School' to take your date
out to eat for a sit down meal!
Jest remember to try to see that she doesn't fergit
to pay fer them thar flip floppy sandals
before she leaves the dern sales area.

Dang, it looks good!
Again, he texted "do you wanna play?" To a woman who said he was paying her for sex. If you don't think think he is still paying for prostitutes please enlighten us about what it's like being so naive. Rodden is an idiot for doing the same mistake again!

I had lunch with someone who once got a parking ticket. Will I be on the 11 o'clock news?
ReplyDeleteDid she have drugs, or just needles? Doesn't the Clark County Sheriff's office hand out needles?
ReplyDeleteBoth, she had a loaded syringe according to reports. Also gave the name of another prostitute who had visited Danny if I recall correctly.
ReplyDeleteUpdate on Alleged Private Sex in Sellersburg!
ReplyDelete'Double Hearsay' and
it is also 'meaningless gossip dibble'..... to boot.
SMH.
Sooooo, a person allegedly
had possible private relations
with another person and a third person TOLD the Po-Po?
That's not even good gossip, much less grounds to scourge a person.
Weak....
And again...."do you wanna play?" I'm surprised Danny is smart enough to put it in code so as to avoid getting prosecuted. I'll give him the benefit of a doubt the first time for making a mistake but to repeat it again makes him an idiot.
ReplyDeleteHe was stupid enough to admit that it just given her money .

Had the police not investigated, then people would have criticized them for sweeping it under the rug, protecting an ex-sheriff and politician. Had the prosecutor elected to file charges, he would have been criticized for piling on on someone for political reasons, etc., so the whole thing was a no-win situation, no matter the out come; all caused by Mr. Rodden's poor decision making. The media attention was unnecessary, but not unexpected in this day and age of intense coverage of anything with a hint of scandal.
ReplyDeleteSmartest comment.
