Good morning, Lafayette.

At Tuesday's Smash Cancer tennis match, Lafayette Jeff senior Elise Medrano set a record by selling 135 t-shirts as part of the team's 467 sales, which raised $3,000 for Karen King—a graduate battling breast cancer and the focus of this annual community event.

A 20-year-old West Lafayette man was arrested Tuesday at 9:30 p.m. after Indiana State Police pursued his Kawasaki sports bike for speeding and driving under the influence; he faces charges of resisting law enforcement & reckless driving.

A Lafayette man, Schuyler Nashon Fletcher, 29, faces multiple felony charges after Tippecanoe County officers recovered more than 130 grams of meth, drug paraphernalia, and digital scales during an April 29 investigation at his home—an investigation that also led to the arrest of accomplice Annie Mae Adele Carter.

The City of West Lafayette will launch a new ParkMobile metered parking system in two phases starting in early June—476 spaces in the Discovery Park District will be served first while 467 additional spaces will be added later near Purdue University.

All parking revenue will be reinvested in local infrastructure projects such as street repairs and sidewalk enhancements.

Tippecanoe County health officials are on alert after two measles cases were confirmed in Cook County in late April, warning that the county's vaccination rate (73%) is below the level needed for herd immunity as Purdue University's graduation approaches.

They are working with local hospitals to design plans that will quickly isolate patients if new cases appear from rising travel.

Julia Gossett pitched seven strong innings, throwing 153 pitches and striking out 10 players as she helped Purdue beat Northwestern 4-2 and move into the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals at Bittinger Stadium.

The win marked Purdue’s first conference tournament victory since 2019—she also hit two solo home runs and drove in three runs.

On May 7, Rossville lost 4—3 to Western when a dropped glove allowed Western’s Allora Bevington to score in the bottom seventh.
