Small Plane Makes Emergency Landing Near I-65
JOHNSON COUNTY, Ind. - Motorists on I-65 in Johnson County did a double take Sunday morning after seeing a plane sitting in a field.
Fifty-two year old Alan Gluff of Franklin thought he'd take his experimental aircraft for a flight. He took off from the Greenwood airport but had to make an abrupt landing.
"He's flying south, not very far south and realizes immediately he's in trouble. His oil light goes, engine's going, he gets it turned around and tries to limp it back to the airport. Obviously he doesn't make it and he lands it in the field here. Obviously a pretty rough landing," Indiana State Police Trooper Kelly Lazzell said.
Gluff was not injured. He holds a private pilots license and has approximately 1,300 hours of flight time.

Police Make Huge Counterfeit Ticket Bust During Colts-Pats Game
INDIANAPOLIS - There was a huge counterfeit ticket bust at Sunday night's big game. Indianapolis Metro Police say they arrested three men who they say are major players in the phony ticket business.
All three men are from Atlanta and were found with hundreds of counterfeit tickets.
"They had approximately 197 counterfeit Colts vs. Patriots game tickets on them," IMPD Lt. Jeff Duhammel said.
Police say while fans were inside the RCA Dome enjoying the game they were outside searching for the men they say sold phony tickets to at least 40 fans.
Lt. Duhammel told 24-Hour News 8 that they arrested 3 men in a car in the 5800 block of Southeastern Avenue. Police pulled them over for speeding but found the counterfeit tickets inside the car.
One of the men arrested was Eric North. North said he's here from Atlanta to visit a girlfriend and no idea the tickets were in his rental car
"I don't know it's not my bad. The bag of tickets wasn't mine. I didn't have knowledge of what was in there," North said
"We had a counterfeit ticket problem at Super Bowl time. These guys may be directly involved with those counterfeit tickets," Lt. Duhammel said.
Police say they also confiscated phony tickets for college football games as well as other Colts games.
Police are issuing a word of warning for fans.
"Buyer Beware! Those fans who come here with counterfeit tickets they don't get seats, they're out," Lt. Duhammel said.
