The Elizabethtown man charged with reckless homicide in the hit-and-run death of a Vallonia man is out of jail after his aunt paid his bond.

Jackson County commissioners opted to forge ahead with a plan Tuesday night to apply for a federal grant designed to help ease flooding problems in Vallonia.

His attorney says Tolbert is a mild-mannered man, recovering from a broken vertebrae and was just trying to avoid any further physical confrontation with a fellow patron at the Caddies Pub in Columbus when the accident happened.

A not guilty plea was entered for the Elizabethtown man charged with reckless homicide in a fatal hit-and-run accident, and a jury trial date of Aug.

An Elizabethtown man charged with reckless homicide in the death of a Vallonia man after a fight at Caddie's Pub is scheduled to make his initial court appearance at 9 a.m. Monday in Bartholomew Circuit Court.

Caller reporting he was pulling a trailer that went off the road and damaged a fence, 3000 block of East County Road 160 North, Brownstown, 3:56 a.m. Friday.

Jacob A. Tolbert, 24, of Elizabethtown, was charged late Thursday afternoon with two felonies in the hit-and-run death early Sunday of a Vallonia man.

Caller reporting she found a purse alongside the road, 8500 block of East County Road 300N, Seymour, 4:40 p.m. Monday.

A judge's order will keep an Elizabethtown man in jail until at least Friday while the Columbus Police Department continues its investigation of a fatal hit-and-run incident early Sunday that left a Jackson County man dead.

The death of a 27-year-old Vallonia man early Sunday morning outside a Columbus nightclub left friends and acquaintances of Tommy Lee Brazzell in shock.

The majority owner of Caddies Pub said Monday that has been told by employees that an argument between customers Jacob Tolbert and Thomas Brazzell started inside the tavern late Saturday or early Sunday, before the pair headed out to the parking lot where their confrontation turned deadly.

They will be offered from 3:30 to 7:30a p.m. May 6 at Vallonia Christian Church and from 11a a.m. to 3a p.m. May 15 during Greater Seymour Chamber of Commerce Picnic at One Chamber Square in downtown Seymour.
