Mt. Vernon Man Arrested after Battering Passenger in a Vehicle Stopped by ISP

Posey County, INDIANA – Last night at approximately 10:20 p.m., Trooper Brandon Deig stopped Jennifer Hanmore, 26, of Mt. Vernon, for speeding on Main Street near 10th Street. She pulled into the parking lot of Lamplight Manor Apartments on Main Street. After the vehicle stopped, Keith Nunnally, 39, who lives nearby, ran over to Hanmore’s vehicle and confronted the male passenger by pulling him out of the vehicle. Trooper Deig was able to separate the two males. The passenger pulled from the vehicle was a 17-year-old male from Mt. Vernon. Trooper Deig discovered Nunnally and Hanmore have children together and their two-year-old twin girls were left unattended in Nunnally’s nearby apartment. Nunnally was told to go back to the apartment and officers would continue their investigation there while Trooper Deig continued to determine if Hanmore was intoxicated.

When Sergeant Russ Werkmeister arrived and entered Nunnally’s apartment to investigate the battery complaint he detected an odor of marijuana. He also observed paraphernalia and marijuana in plain view. Nunnally attempted to destroy the items, but Werkmeister was able to secure Nunnally in handcuffs. Nunnally was arrested and taken to the Posey County jail where he is currently being held on bond. The twins were released to their grandmother.

Further investigation revealed Hanmore had a blood alcohol content of .16%. Hanmore was arrested and taken to the Posey County Jail where she is currently being held on bond. The 17-year-old male was released to a relative.
