00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 2: John at Cruz is joining us, and you have got

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 2: a story to tell. Who's your Native goes viral following

Speaker 2: Netflix's Age of Attraction? First of us, thank you for

Speaker 2: being here. What is Netflix's Age of Attraction?

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,240
Speaker 3: So it is an age gap dating show. So people

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 3: go on the show, they're all different ranges of ages,

8
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 3: and basically you start. It starts kind of off speed dating.

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 3: You start to get to know people and you start

10
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 3: to form a connection. But the one thing is you

11
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 3: cannot talk about your age or give off anything that

12
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 3: would give them an idea of how old you are.

13
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: Until you decide yes, I.

14
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 3: Want to pursue this relationship with this person. You go

15
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 3: into something called the promise room, and that is when

16
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 3: you reveal your age.

17
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: Okay, so you have a friend, I do.

18
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 3: My bestest friend in the whole wife we're on this show. Yes,

19
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,959
Speaker 3: her name is Ashley and she's from Fisher's.

20
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: Okay, so tell us what did she did? She find

21
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: the love of her life?

22
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 4: What do we know?

23
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, so what we canna reveal is that she made

24
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 3: two very strong connections and so that's all she is

25
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 3: allowed to say currently at the moment.

26
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 2: Did she tell you, we're the younger or older since

27
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: we don't know anybody's age.

28
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't.

29
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 3: I can't reveal that either I know what so much

30
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 3: or so much things we want to say and all

31
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 3: the tea and everything.

32
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: Did they make her fine non disclosure agreement?

33
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: Yes? Yeah, but not you why know?

34
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 2: Not?

35
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: But I you know, I gotta be loyal to her,

36
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: That's true.

37
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 3: What's so interesting is that she saw the preview episode

38
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 3: before the first one dropped and realized that they completely

39
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 3: cut her entire story out of the story, out of

40
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 3: the show in general.

41
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: Okay, so if we watched this Age of Attraction show,

42
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: we're not even going to see you.

43
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 3: You see her in the background, you see her. They

44
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 3: introduce her very quickly as she's sitting down talking with

45
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 3: another man, and then she has just gone for the

46
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 3: rest of the time. So she decided over the weekend,

47
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 3: she went to the premiere in La. Decided over the weekend, like, look,

48
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 3: I'm going to share my story. So she started talking

49
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 3: about her story, how she experienced this dating show. This

50
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 3: happened a year ago, mind you. So she's trying to

51
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 3: re hash all the things, and towards the end she's like,

52
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 3: oh yeah, and one thing, I'm thirty nine years old,

53
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 3: I've never been married, i don't have any kids, and

54
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: I'm a virgin. And when yes, and when that happened,

55
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 3: it opened Pandora's box, because then she went viral. I

56
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 3: mean TMZ picked it up, People Magazine picked it up,

57
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 3: US Weekly.

58
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: Picked up her storial Virgin basically just like the movie.

59
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 4: Yeah amazing. I'm shocked that they, because of her.

60
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 5: Story and that she's thirty nine years old and that

61
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 5: she's a virgin, that they would actually cut her out

62
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 5: of the show. To me, that seems like the big

63
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 5: exack vibe of drama and intrigue that a television show

64
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 5: would want to highlight.

65
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: Literally, Like, I could not believe they did that. I

66
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: was like, what are you thinking?

67
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 5: And so you're saying though that she has kind of

68
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 5: talked about this now and it's gone viral on social

69
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 5: media and some other mainstream publications have picked it up.

70
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: Yes, all of a sudden, I don't know where.

71
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 3: She sends me a text Sunday she goes, so I'm

72
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 3: on TMZ right now, and I was like, what for what?

73
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 3: I know?

74
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: Right?

75
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 2: Okay, it's her age of attraction that's okay, yes, And

76
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 2: it was a friend that actually signed her up to

77
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 2: do this.

78
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: Yes, submit this on her own, but I want to

79
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: be a part of this on her own.

80
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 3: It was actually a friend and so then the production

81
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 3: company reached out to her and it was actually a

82
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 3: pretty lengthy process.

83
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: They go into several.

84
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 3: Interviews and you have lots of video interviews and you're

85
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 3: speaking with multiple casting producers and you kind of get

86
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 3: strung along for quite a while until they make that

87
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 3: final decision. So yeah, and I was it was just

88
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 3: fun to just see her experience all of it.

89
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 2: Now, you had mentioned that she's going to be on

90
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:28,960

Speaker 1: Exactly. Well, that's a fun story.

126
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 2: John at Cruz from WIBC Newsroom is in the studio.

127
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: Let's change gears and go to this other story that

128
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: you have at WIBC dot com. Henry County faces one

129
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: point one million dollar insurance bill after excessive claims.

130
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, what are the claims?

131
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 3: So mainly it's coming out of this sheriff's department because

132
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 3: in the recent years they've had fourteen tortue claims against

133
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 3: their department, which has raised their liability. And so now

134
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 3: the commissioners and the county Council, they've had several meetings

135
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 3: to be like, okay, this is the result of all this.

136
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: What do we do?

137
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 3: How do we continue to ensure the county knowing that

138
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 3: we now have to come up with one point one

139
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 3: million dollars by the twenty first of March?

140
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: Is it I mean? Is that common?

141
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 3: No?

142
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, not at all.

143
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 3: It's it's it's a high the highest a county I believe,

144
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 3: out of the entire state of Indiana for fourteen tour

145
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 3: claims from one sheriff's department.

146
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 2: Well, so the taxpayers are going to have to be

147
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 2: on the hook for this, correct, Yes, And do you

148
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: know what the.

149
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: Tour what were the claims?

150
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 3: The tour claims as far as I know, I don't

151
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 3: know every single one. I know a lot of them.

152
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 3: Was a story that I did cover about the inmate

153
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 3: who alleged that he was being up at the Henry

154
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 3: County Jail. Then, you know, unfortunately ended up passing away

155
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 3: about a month ago, and so there's a tour claim

156
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 3: on him and just a lot of just misconduct within

157
00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 3: the department themselves.

158
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 5: Now it seems to be that like every week where

159
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 5: you're in here and it's great and fantastic, but a

160
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 5: lot of your reporting has to do with issues with

161
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 5: the Indiana Department of Corrections. Is that something you kind

162
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 5: of like set out to do, like this is a problem,

163
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 5: I'm really going to do it again, all Jill, It

164
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 5: not at all.

165
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 3: I was completely led to it, and so now it's

166
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 3: like I've literally opened the floodgates, and so things just

167
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 3: keep coming to me. So I'm like, Okay, well, if

168
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 3: this keeps, if there are issues out there and people

169
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 3: have stories, then I'm going to be their voice and

170
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 3: I'm going to go ahead and dig in on a

171
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 3: little bit more on everything.

172
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 5: So when you say you were led to it, I'm

173
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 5: trying to paraphrase here that you did a story about

174
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 5: issues with the Indiana Department of Corrections and then what

175
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 5: you just had a ton of other people.

176
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 4: Reach out to you raise their hand, we'll be like,

177
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 4: I got a story too.

178
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 3: I got a story too, absolutely all of my dms,

179
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 3: and you've got one more.

180
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 2: Wife claims misconduct and abuse at IODC facility.

181
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

182
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: So she her name is Jennifer.

183
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 3: She has a husband currently right now at Heritage Trails,

184
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 3: and so she alleges that when she went to go

185
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 3: visit him in the year of twenty twenty four.

186
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: They thought she was a trafficking drugs. She was not.

187
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 3: She had to put like some quarters into a glove

188
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 3: to go in to like get food or whatever.

189
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: They searched her.

190
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 3: They did all the things, they didn't find anything, but

191
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 3: she alleges that the way they searched her was very

192
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 3: inappropriately and then from that point on, the specific IA

193
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 3: officer basically made her life a living hell. They went

194
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 3: in and they beat up her husband. He had an

195
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 3: orbital fracture. His right eye will never be the same again.

196
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 3: And so now this specific officer, he ended up the

197
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 3: husband ended up going to another facility getting transferred, he

198
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: found out. And so it's like he keeps continuing to

199
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 3: do these things. And so I did not name the

200
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 3: officer in my article considering it's an accusation.

201
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: We don't know if it's true.

202
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 3: I did file a report as well with the IDEOC

203
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 3: on top of sending the email. I've never gotten a

204
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 3: response for both. And then what was I found interesting

205
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 3: was that when I posted the story, I actually had

206
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 3: several people named the officer in the comments. Wow okay, yeah,

207
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 3: So I was like, okay, that, well, this tracks.

208
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 4: Right, not as well kept of a secret as you

209
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 4: might have thought.

210
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: Correct. What are you working on today?

211
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, today, I feel like I have so much

212
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 3: going on. So March's Disability Awareness months, So I had

213
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 3: an interview with Sycamore Services. I'm talking about just you know,

214
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 3: creating awareness for the month of March in terms of

215
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 3: physical and mental disabilities that people have in their services

216
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 3: that they have over in that area. And then a

217
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 3: couple other things. I do have some other IDEOC stories

218
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 3: that I'm also working at. You they do, they keep

219
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 3: coming and so I'm going to continue to work on those.

220
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 3: And I actually am working on several custody cases as well.

221
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 2: And You're going to be on with Hammer and Nigel

222
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 2: and I'll be on thirty five today.
