JEFFERSONVILLE, IN (WAVE) - A plea deal has been reached for a southern Indiana chiropractor facing sex charges.

Robert Nolan was already sentenced to 30 years behind bars in 2010 in Floyd County. A jury convicted him of rape, child molestation and child seduction involving a 13-year-old relative.

He faced additional charges in Clark County, including child molestation, sexual misconduct with a minor and child seduction charges.

Details of the plea deal have not been released.

Big bargains in a small neighborhood store

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Dollar General seems to be the new Starbucks with new stores popping up on every street corner. The company recently opened store number 10,000 with 625 more planned for construction.

Unlike the Starbucks chain, customers won't spend high prices on coffee or anything else in the stores including top brand items recently added along with coolers to now sell milk and eggs and other basic need perishables.

Tawn Earnest is Senior Director of Corporate Communications at Dollar General. She says the economy has been a driving force for new customers to the store.  

"Saving money never goes out of style," Earnest said. "Our company has built a model more relevant than others because we focused on keeping prices low."

She says even though stores are small, Dollar General has more retail locations across the country than any other retailer in America.

NEW ALBANY, IN (WAVE) - As far away as Florida, family and friends are watching the William Clyde Gibson murder investigation in southern Indiana.

Police were out at Gibson's house digging with students from University of Indianapolis on Monday. Police say they didn't find anything after digging for more than two hours.

But, sources say before they got to Gibson's house, they were searching a wooded area off of Northgate Blvd.

Residents told WAVE 3 that police have been asking them questions about Gibson's timeline, where he's been over the years.

WAVE 3 found out that at one point, Gibson lived at a home off of Old Ford Road in New Albany.

About 25-30 years ago, neighbors who didn't want to go on camera, say Gibson lived at a house off West Street in New Albany.

One man said that Gibson was a nice guy but, suddenly snapped and he noticed a change in his personality.

New resolution to build new bridges without tolls

New resolution to build new bridges without tolls

Members of the New Albany City Council are fighting back against tolls on the new Ohio River bridges.

Councilman John Gonder plans to introduce an resolution later this week that calls for state officials to build the east end bridge, but abandon the plans for the downtown bridge until the two states can pay for the project without tolls.

Since New Albany can't control what happens with the bridges project, the resolution is more of a symbolic vote to show the council's disapproval of the current plan.

NEW ALBANY, IN (WAVE) –  Investigators got back to work in a suspected serial killer's backyard.

Police say they were searching for new evidence, and the potential of more human remains. Through their investigation they were led to a couple of specific areas by cadaver dogs, so they brought in extra help to start digging. 

After several days of peace and quiet, William Clyde Gibson's house became an active crime scene again. 

"A lot of people are still in shock that they are still searching and whatever is going on down there, a lot of people still in shock and it's still scary," said Glenda Davis Eubanks, neighbor. 

Around 2:15, on Monday afternoon, the perimeter went up, crews moved in, and the shovels came out.

Crews to widen ramps in southern Indiana

The Indiana Department of Transportation will be working on the exit ramps on I-265 at Grant Line Road and I-625 and Charlestown Road.

INDOT tells us that all ramps will remain open during construction. They say they will be widening the ramps for two left turn lanes and one right turn lane. INDOT says delays are probably and drivers should plan an alternate route during construction.
