  <itunes:author>Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, &amp; Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight)</itunes:author>
  <itunes:subtitle>Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey dives deep into the strange case of former Madison County Councilor and preacher Steve Sumner, who spent more than two years as a fugitive before his arrest, following a $25,000 reward offered by Dr. Katherine Callahan.

Bilbrey walks through the arrests of Sumner and his girlfriend, Sharon Bailey Barker, their extraditions back to Indiana, and the troubling questions surrounding who provided the tip, who should receive the reward money, and why the Madison County Sheriff John Beeman acted so strangely, trying to get Callahan to issue payment to someone who did not call in the tip. Answers begin to surface—after Bilbrey receives the records he requested from Howard County, Maryland. But this story is only getting started. #ThePoliticalSpotlight</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;For more than two years, former Madison County Councilor and preacher Steve Sumner was on the run, wanted as a fugitive from justice. The Madison County Sheriff's Department and the United States Marshals Service were allegedly searching for him. Yet whenever questions were asked, there were no answers, and it was as if he were a ghost!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That was until Dr. Katherine Callahan, a Madison County citizen and political activist, offered a $25,000.00 reward for information leading to the arrest of Sumner and any accomplices who helped him hide.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In September 2025, a tip led to the arrest of Sumner's girlfriend, Sharon Bailey Barker, in Howard County, Maryland. That arrest then led to Sumner's arrest the next day in Tennessee, as he attempted to drive back to California.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Both suspects were extradited to Madison County, Indiana, and it seemed like that was it! Sumner and Barker would be booked into jail, and there they would wait until trial!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But that was only the start of a series of bizarre questions that still plague many today.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Questions like who provided the tip that led to the arrests?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;They get the reward money, right?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Why has Madison County Sheriff John Beeman been in such a hurry to issue the $25,000.00 reward to someone who did not make the call?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Where does all of this stand?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These and more questions have been swirling in the background and on the minds of 'The Political Spotlight' team for quite some time, but now, in episode 575, Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey lays it all out!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While these questions will be brought to the forefront now and some answers will be given... this is nowhere near the end of this bizarre situation; on the contrary, it's only the start!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Be sure to tune in to this episode, as you will NOT want to miss this one!&lt;/p&gt;

    <![CDATA[<p>For more than two years, former Madison County Councilor and preacher Steve Sumner was on the run, wanted as a fugitive from justice. The Madison County Sheriff&#39;s Department and the United States Marshals Service were allegedly searching for him. Yet whenever questions were asked, there were no answers, and it was as if he were a ghost!</p>

<p>That was until Dr. Katherine Callahan, a Madison County citizen and political activist, offered a $25,000.00 reward for information leading to the arrest of Sumner and any accomplices who helped him hide.</p>

<p>In September 2025, a tip led to the arrest of Sumner&#39;s girlfriend, Sharon Bailey Barker, in Howard County, Maryland. That arrest then led to Sumner&#39;s arrest the next day in Tennessee, as he attempted to drive back to California.</p>

<p>Both suspects were extradited to Madison County, Indiana, and it seemed like that was it! Sumner and Barker would be booked into jail, and there they would wait until trial!</p>

<p>But that was only the start of a series of bizarre questions that still plague many today.</p>

<p>Questions like who provided the tip that led to the arrests?</p>

<p>They get the reward money, right?</p>

<p>Why has Madison County Sheriff John Beeman been in such a hurry to issue the $25,000.00 reward to someone who did not make the call?</p>

<p>Where does all of this stand?</p>

<p>These and more questions have been swirling in the background and on the minds of &#39;The Political Spotlight&#39; team for quite some time, but now, in episode 575, Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey lays it all out!</p>

<p>While these questions will be brought to the forefront now and some answers will be given... this is nowhere near the end of this bizarre situation; on the contrary, it&#39;s only the start!</p>

  <itunes:subtitle>Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey discusses the events that took place at the City of Muncie's December 2025 Parks Board Meeting. Prairie Creek Reservoir was the main topic at the meeting. Then, Bilbrey welcomes contributing correspondent Dr. Katherine Callahan to the show to talk about the Madison County Commissioners' December 2025 Meeting. During the meeting, the Commissioners voted no on the effort to redraw the county's voting precincts. Finally, Bilbrey and Callahan discuss the recent decision by Madison County Circuit Court Division 3 Judge Andrew Hopper, who ruled that Carl Roy Webb Boards II—the man charged with the shooting death of Elwood Police Officer Noah Shahnavaz—is not competent to stand trial. #ThePoliticalSpotlight</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey is feeling much better and ready to rock and roll!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;First, Bilbrey highlights the ongoing issues the City of Muncie faces with communication, transparency, and, flat out, just giving a shit!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bilbrey attended the Muncie Park Board meeting this evening and became increasingly upset as a citizen addressed the board about feeling excluded by the Mayor and his team. Things only got worse when Parks Superintendent Carl Malone stood up and showed a complete lack of understanding of how a public servant should behave, clearly proving the citizens' point.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Because of that, Bilbrey had to step up to correct the record and share a few points.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Next, shifting to a few Madison County points of interest, Bilbrey welcomes contributing correspondent Dr. Katherine Callahan to discuss the Madison County Commissioners' "NO VOTE" on the effort to redraw voting precincts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then, Bilbrey and Callahan discuss the recent decision by Madison County Circuit Court Division 3 Judge Andrew Hopper, who ruled that Carl Roy Webb Boards II—the man charged with the shooting death of Elwood Police Officer Noah Shahnavaz—is not competent to stand trial.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This and much more is coming your way... DO NOT MISS A SECOND OF IT!&lt;/p&gt;

    <![CDATA[<p>Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey is feeling much better and ready to rock and roll!</p>

<p>First, Bilbrey highlights the ongoing issues the City of Muncie faces with communication, transparency, and, flat out, just giving a shit!</p>

<p>Bilbrey attended the Muncie Park Board meeting this evening and became increasingly upset as a citizen addressed the board about feeling excluded by the Mayor and his team. Things only got worse when Parks Superintendent Carl Malone stood up and showed a complete lack of understanding of how a public servant should behave, clearly proving the citizens&#39; point.</p>

<p>Because of that, Bilbrey had to step up to correct the record and share a few points.</p>

<p>Next, shifting to a few Madison County points of interest, Bilbrey welcomes contributing correspondent Dr. Katherine Callahan to discuss the Madison County Commissioners&#39; &quot;NO VOTE&quot; on the effort to redraw voting precincts.</p>

<p>Then, Bilbrey and Callahan discuss the recent decision by Madison County Circuit Court Division 3 Judge Andrew Hopper, who ruled that Carl Roy Webb Boards II—the man charged with the shooting death of Elwood Police Officer Noah Shahnavaz—is not competent to stand trial.</p>

<p>This and much more is coming your way... DO NOT MISS A SECOND OF IT!</p>

Sumner waived extradition and has now been taken back to the Madison County, Indiana, jail. Bilbrey shares his thoughts on this ongoing situation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bilbrey then reports the latest details about the investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hang on tight, it's about to get crazy... because it's a special Friday night show! Let's roll!&lt;/p&gt;

    <![CDATA[<p>It&#39;s been a long and emotional week...</p>

<p>Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey discusses the update on the Steven Sumner arrest.

<p>Bilbrey then reports the latest details about the investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk.</p>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;BREAKING NEWS&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;WANTED FUGITIVE FROM MADISON COUNTY, INDIANA, STEVEN "STEVE" CRAIG SUMNER HAS BEEN CAPTURED!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As The Political Spotlight has covered in past episodes, former Madison County Councilor Steven Sumner was arrested and charged with several serious sex crimes against children in 2021.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While navigating the start of Madison County's "Mickey Mouse" joke of a legal system, Sumner was given an outrageously low bond, which allowed him to flee in 2023, making him a fugitive from justice ever since.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, due to the persistence of Sumner's survivors, a few other determined citizens, the Madison County Sheriff's Department, led by Sheriff John Beeman, and the U.S. Marshals, tips were received, leads were followed, and every effort was made to capture Sumner. This was finally accomplished on Tuesday afternoon, September 9, 2025.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey celebrates this MASSIVE victory for justice in the 520th episode of 'The Political Spotlight.'&lt;/p&gt;
