Dejaune Anderson, 38, presently being held at the Washington County Detention Center on Murder, Obstruction of justice and Neglect of a Dependent Resulting in Death charges for the death of her son, Cairo Jordan, continues to file motions.
The latest two filings concern removing Judge Larry Medlock as the presiding judge. She continues to refer to herself as "Prince Califia Haton Tupak Bey the 2nd representing the entity of Dejaune Anderson." She based the motion and an affidavit on violation of constitutional rights.
Anderson cited the 5th and 14th amendment to the United States Constitution and abuse while in jail. She claims she has been denied law books and her court-appointed attorney does not have her best interests in mind.
She wrote, “I felt the court should move my case to Federal courts due to the lack of scope dealing with national, foreign intelligence.” No rulings on any of her motions have been answered by the court.

Salem Fire Department received a call Friday at approximately 6:30 p.m. concerning a fire at 132 E. Eastern Hills Blvd., Salem.
The home is the residence of retired local attorney John W. Mead and his wife Mary. The Mead’s were on vacation at the time.
When Salem Fire Department arrived, the house was fully involved. Salem fire officials called Campbellsburg and Pierce-Polk fire departments for use of their water tanks. The house is constructed of brick, but it has been reported that the interior received extensive damage.
Fire departments were active at the scene until midnight putting out hot spots.
Another incredible opportunity for the Indiana Uplands has launched! The Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) has allocated $30 million in READI 2.0 funding to the Indiana Uplands. Through this program, IEDC aims to accelerate the State’s economic growth by supporting regions and building on the successes of past programs such as READI 1.0, Regional Cities, and the 21st Century Talent Initiative.
Regions across Indiana will have the opportunity to support projects that address at least one of IEDC’s key performance indicators, which include:
- Population growth
- Per capita income growth
- Increase in employment opportunities
- Educational attainment
- Number of housing units developed
- Increase in childcare capacity
- Increase in innovation activities
Eligible READI 2.0 projects are limited to capital projects or infrastructure improvements.
Capital projects include, but are not limited to:
- construction or rehabilitation of new or existing facilities,
- acquisition of tangible personal property or equipment with a useful life of at least one (1) year and used for a particular purpose aligned with the owner’s business or governmental purpose;
- land acquisition;
- other expenses directly related to items (i) – (iii), including professional services, installation costs, debt or lease payments, permitting fees, developer and property management fees, legal expenses, or other project costs approved by the IEDC.
Infrastructure projects may be publicly or privately owned and include water, wastewater/sewer, utilities such as electricity, gas, and broadband, roads and sidewalks, and parking garages.
Eligible redevelopment projects must involve the redevelopment or rehabilitation of vacant, deteriorating, underutilized or blighted properties that have a demonstrated impact on the valuation of the subject asset and surrounding property values (“Blighted Properties”). Blight can also be identified by a local ordinance that designates an area as blighted or in need of redevelopment. Vacant should be defined as 1) uninhabited residential single-family properties that have been vacant for a year or more, or 2) commercial buildings in which at least 50% of the building is vacant for more than one year or at least 75% vacant and poses a significant opportunity for redevelopment. The IEDC will remain flexible if communities can create a compelling case as to certain properties being considered blight or vacant.
Please review IEDC’s Policy Requirements to learn more about what may be eligible for READI funding.
READI 2.0 in the Indiana Uplands
As with READI 1.0, Regional Opportunity Initiatives (ROI) will serve as the regional intermediary for READI 2.0 in the Indiana Uplands. For this round, ten Uplands counties are participating. The $30 million allocation awarded to the Indiana Uplands was based on goals and strategies developed in collaboration with regional stakeholders through listening sessions in every county, consultation with regional employers and community leaders, regional studies, and strategic planning. In preparation for upcoming meetings with IEDC, ROI is inviting regional stakeholders to submit information on potential projects that may align with READI 2.0 priorities.
READI projects funded in the Indiana Uplands should align with one or more of the region’s goals detailed below. Please click on the [▶] to expand each goal to see specific strategies.
Goal 1: Leverage advanced technologies to position the Indiana Uplands for economic opportunity and continued growth across its key employment sectors: advanced manufacturing, life sciences, and national security and defense.
Goal 2: Develop and enhance quality of place assets to support economic opportunity and growth.
Goal 3: Grow the Uplands talent pipeline through K-12 and postsecondary programming, as well as implement targeted talent attraction and retention strategies.
Goal 4: Increase economic vitality across the Uplands through a focus on the region’s unique cultural, artistic, physical, and livability assets.
Arts & Culture READI Projects
The Lilly Endowment has awarded a $250 million grant to the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) to help bolster quality of place efforts throughout the state. IEDC will allocate $65 million of those funds to support an arts and culture Initiative. (Note: In addition to capital projects, arts programming is eligible if funded by the READI 2.0 LEI Art and Redevelopment Initiative.)This initiative aims to unleash regional creative transformation through capacity building for the arts, investment in public art, and the development of cultural amenities accessible to the community. Funding can support both capital and programmatic costs for these grants.
Eligible projects and programs include, but are not limited to:
- Public art, including murals, sculptures, installations, programmable lighting on key assets, or other artistic community improvements
- Development of museums, performing arts venues, art centers, art studio complexes, or other culturally significant attractions or facilities (including improvements to existing facilities)
- Art and cultural competitions or festivals, provided the applicant demonstrates long-term funding commitments to sustain any such effort
- Initiatives to attract nationally and internationally recognized arts and cultural performances to Indiana
- Initiatives to support the further development of a region’s creatives and creative economy
- Development of visual architectural design elements that are unique to local communities
Please review IEDC’s READI 2.0 Redevelopment and Arts Initiative information before proceeding to ensure that your project aligns with the State’s policies.
