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.

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.
