SHELBYVILLE  — More trouble for Linton-Stockton Head Coach Joey Hart.

Hart was arrested Monday for Driving a Vehicle While Intoxicated after disregarding a stop sign.

In January, Hart was arrested after he was found passed out in a vehicle near Terre Haute.

On Monday, Shelbyville Police said they saw a vehicle being driven by Hart “swerving all over the roadway” on SR 44 near Shelbyville at 8:36 p.m., Monday.

A Police officer watched him as he drove into Shelbyville where, according to the police officer’s narrative, Hart stopped his vehicle and rolled down his window.

The officer saw him talking on a cell phone and asked him to hang up.

The officer smelled alcohol and observed an open cup containing liquid that looked like beer in a cup holder.

Hart was unable to produce his identification.

When asked where he was going, he said to Clay City and that he was on his way from Indianapolis.

Hart asked the officer, “Where am I?” When the officer said he was in Shelbyville, Hart indicated he thought he was in Clay City.

The officer asked Hart if he had been drinking and Hart said, “Way earlier.”

He then identified himself as “Joe Hart.”

When asked to exit the vehicle, Hart did not comply three times. Finally he got out of the vehicle at the officer’s insistence.

“As he stood beside his vehicle, I noticed his balance was very poor,” the officer reported.

The officer asked Hart if he could check Hart for weapons and none were found. He also asked if another officer who arrived could check his vehicle for anything illegal in the car and Hart gave permission.

Hart was wearing a Linton Miners polo shirt and told police he was the head coach and his team was scheduled to play in the semi-state basketball tournament this weekend at Southport High School.

Hart refused to take a sobriety test and a chemical test so a search warrant was obtained and blood was drawn from Hart to check his level of intoxication. The blood sample is to be sent to a laboratory for analysis.

“Joe said he screwed up,” the officer reported. “Joe was cordial and cooperative throughout the incident, and was upset and was concerned that he may lose his job, and may have cost his team the opportunity to play in the semi-state basketball tournament this weekend.”
