Employee who stole $250,000 from Lafayette church sentenced to 4 years

LAFAYETTE, IN — Julia Wonnacott will spend four years in prison, four years on community correction and four years on supervised probation for using her job as Heartland Community Church office administrator to enrich herself. Wonnacott, now 37, used church money to buy a house, to pay for vehicles, vacations and surgeries in Mexico. In 2023, she stole $250,000 of the church's money, according to prosecutors. She also opened lines of credit in the church's name with her as the authorized person to access the credit, which was $170,000, according to court documents. Between January 2024 and August 2024, when her four-year crime spree was discovered, Wonnacott stole $100,000 from the church, according to documents. It wasn't until the bank accounts were drained to zero that church officials noticed. She'd worked for the church since Feb. 1, 2020, through Aug. 30, 2024. Wonnacott, now 37, received her sentence Tuesday. According to Indiana law, she will have to serve 75% of her four-year prison sentence, and she already has two years' credit for pretrial detention, according to court records. After prison, she will serve four years on community corrections. But if she does not qualify for community corrections, she will serve

Tippecanoe Democrats plan to file for special election in township race

LAFAYETTE, IN — Tippecanoe County Democrats told Board of Elections members they will formally petition for a special election in the Tippecanoe Township trustee race between Republican incumbent Bill Jones and Democrat Holden Mugford before the Nov. 17 deadline. Tippecanoe County Democratic Party Chairman Ken Jones said that despite the board's meeting to certify the election results, Tippecanoe Township voters were left to wonder about the validity of their elected trustee. An error on Tippecanoe Township ballots was reported on Oct. 21 , when a voter found that Mugford's name had been omitted from the ballot. By that point, 424 Tippecanoe Township voters had cast ballots. After accounting for the 117 voters who were able to "cure" their ballots and 74 straight-party Democratic voters who were properly credited before the Nov. 3 election, Jones said 233 uncured ballots remain in question, making Jones' lead Jones over Mugford uncertain. "The certified margin of victory between Bill Jones and Holden Mugford is 118 votes, nearly half the number of uncured, defective ballots," Ken Jones said. "As many have acknowledged when this error was discovered, when the winning margin is smaller than the number of uncured impacted voters, the error directly calls the

'Puppygram' store lease at Tippecanoe Mall terminated after lawsuit

LAFAYETTE, IN — Plans for a puppy store in the Tippecanoe Mall have been abandoned for now after the board president of the Humane Society for Greater Lafayette challenged the legality of its opening in a lawsuit. Sharon Dull, a longtime local animal welfare advocate, said she found out in late October about the planned Puppygram store, an Indiana-based puppy delivery franchise with locations in Indianapolis, Clarksville and Detroit. In the lawsuit, Dull said the Tippecanoe Mall's zoning code — general business — does not allow the retail sale of animals or dog adoptions, which is permitted only in I-2 light industrial zoning. Dull said that after seeing the Tippecanoe Mall post to its website that Puppygram was scheduled to open on Nov. 15, she knew she needed to "act quickly," and the lawsuit was filed on Nov. 4. "It's a lot easier to close (puppy stores) before they open then after they open the doors," Dull said. "You would think any store owner would research the proper zoning allowances prior to signing a lease agreement." Dull said she was told Tuesday that Simon Property Group, owner of the Tippecanoe Mall, had terminated Puppygram's lease agreement, so a motion to
