Crown Point teen charged with rape at party A Crown Point teen is facing his latest arrest — for allegedly raping a woman at a party. Noah Villarreal, 19, was charged Tuesday with Level 3 felony rape. If convicted, he faces 3-16 years in prison. He has not been apprehended. When arrested, he is or dered to be held without bail. Crown Point Police responded at 11:54 p.m. Feb. 21 to Franciscan Health Crown Point. The victim, 20, told investigators that she was at a party at Villarreal’s home when she woke up the next morning to him raping her, the affidavit states. Cops wrote Villarreal’s family was uncooperative when they tried to find him with a warrant to take a DNA sample. Court documents show Villarreal has open cases for several charges, including theft, domestic battery, armed robbery, child solicitation and sexual battery. Bail hearing for couple’s Gary murder reset A bail hearing for a man charged in a couple’s Gary ‘rampage-style’ murder was reset to June. Derrick Pouncey’s bail hearings are set for June 11 and 27. His next court date is April 17. Pouncey is charged with killing Kyle and Klorya Matthews — who went to help her sister and the woman’s three children escape their home from him. Kyle was found dead just behind a couch near the front door, while Klorya was lying in the front doorway. Both were shot multiple times from a distance. The third man was taken to a nearby hospital; he is bedridden and paralyzed from the waist down as a result of being shot by Pouncey, court records state. Kyle Matthews, 31, was a well-known domestic violence awareness advocate at Fair Haven Crisis Center, while his wife, Klorya, 32, was about to get her master’s degree in psychology from Purdue University. Sin City leader to go forward with plea deal Ronnie “Black” Major, 54, opted to keep the plea deal after “extensive consultations,” his lawyer Donald Schmid wrote March 8. A new sentencing date hasn’t been set. Major pleaded guilty in May to conspiracy to participate in racketeering activity and murder. Court documents indicate he served as the Gary motorcycle gang’s vice president at one point. Among other allegations, federal prosecutors allege Major paid his brother-in-law Antoine Gates $10,000 to kill Jocelyn “Pie Face” Blair, 31, on Dec. 19, 2010 in the middle of Coney Island Restaurant in Gary, who was a witness against him in an upcoming county trial. Once filed, it is generally difficult to withdraw from a federal plea agreement. mcolias@post-trib.com ...read more read less
