Muncie woman again arrested after Drug Task Force investigation
MUNCIE, IN — For a second time this year, a Muncie woman has been arrested after an investigation by the Muncie-Delaware County Drug Task Force. Ashley Kay Alenne Atkinson, 36, was taken into custody on the evening of Thursday, Nov. 5, on suspicion of dealing in a narcotic drug, a Level 2 felony carrying up to 30 years in prison. According to an affidavit, task force members learned from "a reliable and confidential source" that Atkinson was using a 2022 Chevrolet Colorado to distribute narcotics "in and around Muncie." Investigators used Flock cameras to monitor the travels of that pickup truck, and reportedly determined Atkinson was driving to Trotwood, Ohio, a Dayton suburb in an area frequently visited by "individuals involved in illegal narcotics trafficking," the affidavit said. After obtaining a warrant to do so, task force members placed a GPS tracking device on the Colorado. On Thursday, after determining Atkinson was returning from the Trotwood area, the pickup truck was stopped in the area of Memorial and Burlington drives. A police K-9 determined there were narcotics in the vehicle, and Atkinson was found to be carrying a bag that held 28.7 grams of fentanyl, the court document said. The

Muncie man who assaulted woman sentenced to home detention
MUNCIE, IN — A Muncie man who assaulted a female acquaintance in her home has been sentenced to home detention. Brandon Lee Resler, 31, had pleaded guilty in Delaware Circuit Court 5 to domestic battery with a deadly weapon, strangulation, residential entry, intimidation and stalking. Judge Thomas Cannon Jr. recently sentenced Resler to seven years on electronic home detention. The Muncie man was given credit for 197 days already spent in the Delaware County Jail. Under the terms of a plea agreement, a count of rape, a Level 1 felony carrying up to 40 years in prison, was dismissed. According to court documents, a Muncie woman told city police Resler entered her home without permission in November 2025, placed a hand around her neck, showed her a handgun and told her he was "crazy about her."

Op-ed: Building bridges, strengthening community in Muncie
Since arriving in Muncie, I have received nothing but a warm welcome. To the residents, community leaders and city employees who have welcomed me, offered encouragement and taken the time to introduce themselves, thank you. Your kindness has not gone unnoticed. Several people have also greeted me with two familiar expressions: “You have your hands full” and “Good luck!” I have smiled at both, recognizing that behind those words are experiences, concerns and perhaps even frustrations that deserve to be heard. I consider it a privilege to enter this role with fresh eyes, an open mind and a genuine heart for service. I did not come to Muncie believing I have all the answers. I came prepared to listen, learn, build relationships and take meaningful action where the Muncie Human Rights Commission (MHRC) can make a difference. Because protecting human rights is not simply about addressing complaints. It is also about building understanding, promoting fairness, strengthening relationships and helping create a community where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. My early observation is that Muncie has tremendous potential, but it also needs healing, understanding and collaboration. I recognize that these are observations from someone still learning the community. That

This Indiana Bakery Is Known For Cinnamon Rolls That Have Become A Small-Town Tradition
A family bakery closed in 2001, its old building came down in 2010, and a grandson brought it back about twenty years later. That alone made me sit up. Bakeries don’t usually get second acts like that. The trial run drew lines out the door. Pastries sold out fast.
