Indiana couple caught committing obscene acts on one another while in audience of school dance recital
Carly Ann Dominski, 44, and Steven Ulman, 49, were arrested on Saturday following the sickening incident inside the Lake Central High School Auditorium in St. John near the Illinois border.
Staff members approached an officer from the St. John Police Department and told the cop that the couple were performing 'lewd acts' on one other during a large dance recital inside the auditorium, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by the Daily Mail.
The officer said he saw Dominski with her hand down Ulman's pants and could 'physical see' that she was 'fondling Ulman's genitals.'
The affidavit also stated that Ulman's left hand was down the front of Dominski's pants and that he was fondling her, noting that her pants were unbuttoned.
There were several small children in the area as kids performed at the recital, and many in the crowd had turned to look at the appalling display.
After being asked to leave the auditorium by the officer, the pair quickly left their seats and were seen buttoning their pants, the affidavit added.
The two then fled to the parking lot and into their vehicle before officers moved in to stop them from leaving, the affidavit said.
Officers said Dominski originally gave her name as Jessica Ulman, but after a search of her purse they found a Illinois license with her actual name.
After a pat-down of Ulman, officers found a bottle of clear liquid that Dominski said was lube.
It was later discovered that Dominski had outstanding warrants for identity deception, unlawful possession of a syringe, false informing, paraphernalia possession and theft.
She was hit with charges of public indecency and false reporting, as well as the outstanding warrants.
Ulman is facing a charge of public indecency.
The two appeared in Lake Superior Court on Monday for their first appearance.
A hearing in Ulman's case has been scheduled for next month.
In the state of Indiana public decency is considered a Class A misdemeanor that can carry jail time of up to one year and a fine of up to $5,000.
The incident happened inside Lake Central High School in St. John, Indiana, on Saturday
According to social media accounts, Ulman and Dominski have been together since 2013.
In 2016, the New Lenox Police Department in Illinois said Dominski was found slumped over the wheel of her car with her then 3-year-old in the backseat.
It was later determined she had been using methamphetamine and heroin, with paraphernalia found inside the vehicle, police told Patch.

Tommy Robinson breaks silence & says ‘I've had the worst week of my life' after being released on bail over ‘assault'
TOMMY Robinson has broken his silence after being released on bail following his arrest last night. The 42-year-old, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was detained at Luton Airport at 6.25pm yesterday, after boarding an EasyJet flight from Faro Airport in Portugal. 4 4 4 The British Transport Police confirmed earlier today that a 42-year-old man from Bedfordshire was released on police bail until September 8 while enquiries continue. Now, Robinson has taken to social media to speak out for the first time following his bail. Speaking on X, formerly Twitter, he said: "I've got to be honest, one of the worst week's of my life. "I was worried, very worried, I thought I was being stitched up." The far-right activist then spoke out regarding the incident at St Pancras. He said: "And then in the end I had to defend myself - that's exactly what the footage shows "If someone comes up and wants to accost me, confront me and attempt to attack me i'm within my rights to defend myself." He added: "I was detained yesterday on GBH section 18 and I was interviewed. "And what my request would be right now is release the footage for the public to see. "Everyone needs to see the footage, not just that little clip, you need to see the footage." The BTP were called to St Pancras at 8.40pm on July 28 following reports of an assault. Officers discovered a man with serious injuries who was transported to hospital. Police confirmed last week the man injured in the alleged assault had been discharged from hospital. A video was posted on social media which showed Robinson near a man lying on the ground, who appeared to be unresponsive. Robinson claimed the man had attacked him in the footage before leaving the country shortly after. Yesterday, stunned passengers watched on as an aircraft was surrounded by British Transport Police officers. Cops were waiting for the far-right activist after he left the country following an alleged assault at St Pancras Station last week. Speaking on X, today Robinson claimed it was a "planned trip" and he had notified the police when he was coming back. The EDL co-founder walked off the plane wearing a blue top, denim shorts and a black cap. He was met by two female officers at the bottom of the stairs at a runway at Luton Airport. The 42-year-old was led into a police van stationed on the tarmac, surrounded by six cops. A source who was on the plane from Portugal spoke to The Sun and revealed what happened when Robinson was arrested. "I was going to the toilet and I noticed he was sitting down on our flight," they said. 'I knew he was wanted for the attack [at St Pancras], so I had an idea of what was going to play out when we landed. 'Not many people knew who he was on board - so other passengers were shocked to see police officers waiting outside for him. They must have known he was coming back. 'There were two police vans waiting outside for him - and when he walked to the front of the plane, there were officers waiting at the doors. 'As soon as he came down the stairs he was grabbed by an officer - there were about four or five officers around him, and he was quickly escorted into a police van.' 4

Tennessee set to execute inmate despite concerns heart device could prolong ordeal
Tennessee is set to execute an inmate on Tuesday without deactivating his implanted defibrillator, as uncertainty lingers about whether the device will shock his heart when a lethal drug takes effect. Barring a late reprieve requested from the governor or the courts, Byron Black's execution will go forward after a legal back-and-forth over whether the state would need to turn off his implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, or ICD. The non-profit Death Penalty Information Center said it's unaware of any other cases in which an inmate was making similar claims to Black about ICDs or pacemakers. The execution would be Tennessee's second since May, after a pause for five years, first because of Covid-19 and then because of missteps by the Tennessee department of correction. Twenty-seven men have died by court-ordered execution so far this year in the US, and nine other people are scheduled to be put to death in seven states during the remainder of 2025. The number of executions this year exceeds the 25 carried out last year and in 2018. It is the highest total since 2015, when 28 people were put to death. Black, 69, is in a wheelchair, suffering from dementia, brain damage, kidney failure, congestive heart failure and other conditions, his attorneys have said. In mid-July, a trial court judge agreed with Black's attorneys that officials must have the instrument deactivated to avert the risk that it could cause unnecessary pain and prolong the execution. But the state supreme court intervened on 31 July to overturn that decision, saying the other judge lacked the authority to order the change. The state has disputed that the lethal injection would cause Black's defibrillator to shock him. Even if shocks were triggered, Black wouldn't feel them, the state has added. Black's attorneys have countered that even if the lethal drug being used, pentobarbital, renders someone unresponsive, they aren't necessarily unaware or unable to feel pain. Black was convicted in the 1988 shooting deaths of his girlfriend Angela Clay, 29, and her two daughters, Latoya Clay, 9, and Lakeisha Clay, 6. Prosecutors said he was in a jealous rage when he shot the three at their home. At the time, Black was on work-release while serving time for shooting Clay's estranged husband. Linette Bell, whose sister and two nieces were killed, recently told WKRN-TV: 'He didn't have mercy on them, so why should we have mercy on him?' 'It feels like it is never-ending,' Bell told the news outlet. 'They aren't even resting in their own grave.' An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator is a small, battery-powered electronic device that is surgically implanted in the chest, typically near the left collarbone. It serves as a pacemaker and an emergency defibrillator. Black's attorneys say the only way to be sure it's off is for a doctor to place a programming device over the implant site, sending it a deactivation command, with no surgery required. The legal case also spurred a reminder that most medical professionals consider participation in executions a violation of health care ethics. While the judge's order to deactivate the device was in place, state officials said Nashville General Hospital practitioners would do the procedure the day before at the hospital, but wouldn't travel to the prison on execution day as the court required. The judge offered some leeway, allowing the procedure at the hospital on the morning of the execution. But Nashville General then released a statement saying the state's contractor didn't reach out to proper hospital leadership and that there had been no agreement to do the work. In recent years, Black's legal team has also tried and failed to get a new hearing over whether he is intellectually disabled and ineligible for the death penalty under US supreme court precedent. His attorneys have said that if they had delayed a prior attempt to seek his intellectual disability claim, he would have been spared under a 2021 state law. Nashville District Attorney Glenn Funk contended in 2022 that Black is intellectually disabled and deserves a hearing under that 2021 law, but the judge denied it. That is because an inmate can't get an intellectual disability hearing under the 2021 law if they have already filed a similar request and a court has ruled on it 'on the merits'. In Funk's attempt, he focused on input from an expert for the state in 2004 who determined back then that Black didn't meet the criteria for what was then called 'mental retardation'. But she concluded that Black met the new law's criteria for a diagnosis of intellectual disability. Black has also been seeking a determination by the courts that he is incompetent to be executed.

Tommy Robinson released on bail after alleged assault at St Pancras
Tommy Robinson has been released on police bail after being arrested over an alleged assault at St Pancras railway station. The 42-year-old, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was arrested at Luton Airport on Monday evening in connection with the incident, which took place on July 28.
